Default Light weight wheel options for a GMT 900 ?'s

My goal is to have a low 60lb wheel and tire combo using centerline wheels. I talked to them on the phone and wasn't overly confident that we were speaking the same language about offset. I want to keep the stock offset all the way around the truck.

1. Does anyone else make a 20" that weighs 24lbs or less?

2. What offset do I need to keep the stock look.

Thanks

Yes, try centerline wheels as they have a pretty good selection of lightweight rims.

DONT USE CENTERLINES! Unless you go through a shop who is a dealer for them. I went straight through them and I just canceled my order this morning after waiting for three months. I would also like to have an answer to your exact question.

I don't think you are going to find a 20" wheel close to 24lbs! Event a forged wheel is going to be 30# plus. Hopefully you can prove me wrong but I highly doubt it! If you are looking for light weight why aren't you stepping down in size? I am sure it is to be differant but I think you are too far out of the box.

Most of the Centerline 6-lug applications in 20's are 24-26#. Most wheel tire combos end up 50-60# depending on tire size and model.

I owned a set of centerlines and loved them(lost my job and sold them) and am currently looking for another set.

Im buying used though, I have heard a few people had troubles buying direct.

Well maybe I am wrong. I am suprised they are so light for a 20. I would like to see a pic of some of them just to see what kind of style they can fit in a 20" light weight wheel.
