Default Wheel size help/ Ion Alloy 171



hey anyone familiar with ION Alloy wheels? i love the look going to slap some drag radials on them. i have a cammed Rwd Escalade EXT. pretty heavy truck and i have heavy stocks on it also. i have a 4l80e with 4.56 gears on a trutrac posi. its a pain to gas break with these heavy wheels so i found these at a good price and someone told me their 16x10 is lighter than stock gm cookies. trying to decide should i get the 18x9 or 20x9 for my larger truck.

Do they give weights?

The 20's with tires are going to be at least 15-25lbs more per rim than a set of 18's in most cases.
