Default Which Wheels??

I am trying to decide which wheels to get. Let me know what you guys think.

Cragar 616 series in 18":

Or

Gm Factory Narrow 6 spoke "Torq-Thrust" wheels in 20":
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...%3Den%26sa%3DG

I am either going to get the Cragar's in 18"x9" or the GM Factory "Torq-Thrust" wheels in their size of 20"x8.5". I am going to put a 2/4 drop on the truck, but I cannot decide on the wheels. If I got the 18's they would have 285/50/R18's on them, but if I got the 20's they would have 275/55/R20's on them. Don't worry about the prices of the wheels. I can get the Cragar's for $201.00 a piece and the GM 20's for around $1600.00 for a set of wheels and tires already mounted and balanced with lug nuts. Let me know what you guys think.

Here's a pic of the truck so you guys know what they'd be going on:

I'm curious as to how those Cragar's look in 18x9. It'd be different and stand out IMO.

Would 275/55/20 tires rub at all compared to the 285/50/18's? If I do get the 20's I want to have some tire so that it fills out the wheel well and so that it doesn't look like all wheel.
