Anybody running a set of lightweight 20's (25-30lbs) a piece? I realize this has been discussed before but a search doesn't turn up much. I'm thinking about going w/ a set of 20's, but I don't want to sacrifice braking or performance to do it. I figure if I can keep the same tire diameter and approx weight of my Denali rims I shouldn't lose much if any? Only rims that I have found so far that are resonably priced and lightweight are Centerlines...... but I'm not totally sold on any of there styles. Any suggestions for a 6-lug GM application?
These two are ok....but I don't know as I know? Opinions?

I am also looking at lightweight alternatives to my stock 20's and I have not really seen any better options than the centerlines. According to guys who have done the switch, you will feel more response with both pedals. When you get them, let us know how you like them.

centerlines or also eagle alloys are light to.
i run the 20" Eagle 219's and they are pretty light even with tires.
my 20's with tires weigh about the same as a stock 17" or 18" wheel with no tire.
