They're basically cheap, made in China junk. Very heavy and poorly built IMHO. I'm speaking from experience here, I ran a large tire shop for a few years, and my wife works for one currently.

I've had 2 24" sets,the 313's and 330's and I liked em and never had a bad experience with them. I bent 1 of my 313's on a pipe in the road so I bought a whole new set of 330's and had em powdercoated all black. Different strokes for different folks I guess but that's my 2¢.

Had a set of 20's on my old vehicle. Minus being stupid heavy they were alright. Have to keep them clean and maintained otherwise they like to start looking like **** pretty quick

I had a set of 338's I liked but yeah, heavy cheap rims. That said I refuse to pay like $2000 or something retarded for wheels so I buy cheap Ultra's like what is on my 04 and 05. Anything looks nicer than GM's $hitty narrow, ugly PYO's...... And my Ultra's have survived one winter and still look good.... and I don't do anything to them beyond they see a pressure washer like the rest of the truck.

If I were to build a race truck, the stock smallest diameter rims seem to always work fine. Unless you again want to spend big money for ultra lightweight race wheels.
