Default Advice on light weight 20's

I've grown tired of my ugly and heavy wheel setup. I currently have stock 17's with Mickey Thompson MTZ's, 285/70 R17

I'm going to end up keeping these rims and finding some cheap all season to wrap them in to kick around during the incredibly shitty NJ winters.

Now I'm ready to step up and get a nice clean set of 20's with a nice all season to run from spring through fall and I'm looking for some advice. I really want something lighter than the setup I've been running. I have no use for mud terrains, my truck has been run on strictly asphalt for the past year or so.

What would you all recommend? I'd like to keep my budget at about $2,000 all said and done but I would raise my budget by $500 if I thought it was worth the extra investment.

Edit: here's how it sits now

I'd prefer a polished aluminum rim but would settle for chrome. I'd rather not have black or gray rim, unless I were to go with a set of decladded gmc 20s

Most 20 inch wheels are in the 35-40lb range, centerlines are about the lightest you will find... Problem becomes 20 inch tires even if theyre p metric and not load rated are usually extra load because theyre low profile sidewalls which makes them heavier than an equivalent 17 or 18... Been looking for a lighter rim/tire combo for my truck.... Lightest i have found so far have actually been 17 inch wheels with p285/70r17 kumho at a light and nimble combined 72lbs..... Which is a lot lighter than the something like 96lb combined 20s with 275/5520 on my yukon... Not even getting into how much my 315/70r17 on mazzi 17x10s weigh....

I dont think my original post was clear enough, those centerline rims are sweet but i was hoping to get the whole setup - rims and tires for between $2k-$2.5k

You're gonna have to look for some used Centerlines. What part of NJ are you? I'd sell you my 20x8 Centerlines with Nexen 285/50s. Wheels are in my sig pic if you're interested.

Like said, the tires are heavy though since the are XL load rated. They do great when towing.

I think welds would be the opposite of light weight.

Maybe you should do a little googling before posting. Welds are know for being light. My 20x10 welds on 33s are lighter than stock wheels and tires.

That would require work and time.

Maybe I should rephase part of that, they would be the opposite of budget and wallet friendly. Your 20x10 rims are like 2000-2500 a set, add tires and you could at 3500+ just for some ugly rims lol. Weld does make pretty ugly wheels.
