Personal opinion is to buy locally, I own a brake/tire/alignment shop and I've gone through as many as 10 wheels to find 4 that were acceptable to use as far as being round/true..same thing with tires, if you get a bad one, you gotta buy another one while you ship the defect back and let them credit your credit card(eventually/maybe) The shipping/down time sucks if you have problems.
Just my personal opinion.

Hi-Perf:

GM has dealer installed 20 inch wheels, like 8 different choices.

Be careful on the aftermarket 8 lug wheels, many are not load rated as high as the factory wheels. Seen accidents from people where the wheel broke, fancy does not mean strong.

HP2.

Call Outlaw Motorsports and ask for Mark. (OutlawMark on OSO.)
540-829-0300
Tell him Brian sent you, and ask for an OSO brother hookup. Their shop is in Culpeper VA, about an 90 minutes SW of DC. I dunno if you can work out shipping, or would want to pick them up, but Mark can get just about anything, and has always taken care of me and several other OSO members. NEVER an issue. Myself and others have spent thousands there.

I also have to recommend the Helo Max8 wheels. I have them in 17". (Can't fit 20s) They are awesome. Also look into IceMetals.

www.wheelpros.com (Outlaw Motorsports is a distributor for WheelPros, they won't sell direct.)

www.4wheelparts.com

I bought my 20" Weld Evo's and 39.5 Truxus tire delivered to my house for under 2800.00. The wheels themselves retail for 800 and the tires retail for 300. I called and haggled with them over the phone and got a smokin deal. That price included mounting and balancing as well as shipping. I wouldn't buy tires from anybody else.

I don't know why their web site isn't coming up but the phone number is 1-800-284-9840.

BTW, as far wheels not being strong as posted earlier I would recommend Weld over just about anybody else. I've had them on my Excursion and my dually and never had a problem with them. I had Centerlines before the Welds, and had one crack on me. Welds are rated for 1 ton and 3/4 ton trucks up to 48" tires. I don't think you will ever break one.......They also sell the Helo brand, don't know anything about them but I'm sure they can answer any questions.
