Default should i get smaller wheels?

right now i have some blinging 20's, and for the first time in a lil while im on a performance kick again. im thinking of get some 17's or 18's with a good sized tire, what do you guys think? can someone chop some smaller centerlines on my ride?

what about some 20" centerlines? they're very light. also Eagle Alloys has a few decent designs and they're light too. Boss Wheels (made by Eagle) also has light wheels. i think the Boss 315 weights like 28 pounds for a 20" wheel.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing, but more for tire selection than weight. Slowprocess' truck doesn't look bad at all, and it has 17's. I was thinking about ditching the 20's and running some 18" billets on the street so I could get a drag radial out back.

Make sure you get a decent size tire, or it will look funny.

actually you know what would look sick is run some 17s or 18s all around, then in back stick on some big meats. give kind of that pro-street look.

Your trucks great as it is, but I am a fan of a sportier look. I think 17, 18 or 20s would look good in a light forged or billet wheel. I would go 18 IMO it's a good comprimise of size and beef.

blank ill trade you plus cash lol. i think 18's in billet is what im looking for but still not sure, i dont like the 20's because if you have a street truck, you " have" to have 22's and thats not what i like. the centerlines are my favorite, not sure about 20s or 18s yet though. Scream, you know exactly what im talking about lol, and by the the way your truck is what inspired me to build a fast truck, and to prospect for AA
