Help me find some 20"
Apparently I'm too picky because I've had no luck finding what I want
What I'm looking for are some 20x9 or 20x8.5 wheels with:
-not chromed(I live where they salt the roads so it will eat through chrome in a heart beat)
- not black
-no lip, rims flush with the face of the tire
-I want a lot of metal, not tiny spokes
-I want more of a mechanical look so more sharp edges and such in the wheels, not curvy
-I want the outer face of the wheel/tire to hug the body lines like a stock size tire does, if the outer face can't be flush I'd rather it stick out a bit than set in
I'm having a hard time finding ten w/o the lips. I've found some helo wheels that look awesome, but they have a lip. Also the stock 20's that come with the NNbs sierra's look great, but I want something different.

For those sizes, 20x9 and 20x8.5, I would go with a 6" backspacing for a 9" wheel and 5.5" backspacing for a 8.5" wheel. This will set the wheel just about flush. As for the finish, basically it sounds like you want a painted/powder coated wheel.
With your criteria, it will be hard to find a wheel. Most wheels with a lip are going to be the ones that are flush or stick out. Wheels without a lip will be tucked into the fender. Like said above though, the SS wheels are the only ones that really come to mind.

too fussy for my own good, lol. If I do go for a small lip, what companies woudl you reccomend. Helo seemed to make a bunch of wheels that I liked with a lip. Other companies that I have looked at are Weld, American Racing, and Eagle. Any other suggestions? Say I find a wheel thats not powdercoated, any rough guesses on how much powder coating costs?

You need to go in a rim magazine at Discount Tire or search Google because no one is going to give you a response that meet every single criteria on your post. If you are just looking for a rim for "show" then any manufacturer makes good rims.
