Trim rings are way too difficult to think about on a 20. I have 16-inch Wheel Vintiques in a 5 on 5 pattern on my '96 GMC 2WD. I used hot rod trim rings, but I will probably go back and get the OEM-style.

As for center caps, I also think that the OEM-style caps would be a no-brainer. There are several styles that fit the current crop of rally wheels. If you create a new-size cap requirement, you're looking at a limited market. If the caps currently available can be used, the market is much larger.

A painted wheel is always an option. Having a chrome lip would be a nice touch, too, but would add to the cost of the wheels. With no 20-inch trim rings available to my knowledge, the chrome would look nice, with a painted center, or powder-coated. Powder-coating is my preference, but chipping is always a possiblility when someone pops a cap off of it. Paint is even more prone to be marred, when you pop a center cap. Just no way around it...that I have found.

Good luck on your endeavour.
