Default cant decide on wheels....size and style? GMT900

Im trying to decide on wheels for my truck and cant make up my damn mind. I would like 22's but not sure if I can live with the low sidewall (285/45/22) or should I get 20's with taller sidewall (285/50/20).
Im going for more of a street performance look, not a slammed cruiser look if that makes any sense.

Heres the wheels Im considering.

#1 black rhino charge in either 20's or 22's



#2 boss 331's in either 20's or 22's (not sure I can pull these off looks wise)



#3 centerline polished (these will be 8" wide front and 10" wide rear in 20's)



#4 joe gibbs wheels in 20's



#5 Silverado SS wheels in either 20's or 22's



#6 GM accessory CK210 wheels in 20's






Heres my truck (it will be 1.5" lower as soon as the weather clears up here)

I voted for #1. 22"s fill up the wheel wells nicely, but I'm with on tired sidewall and ride quality.

Thanks Kenny. Im kinda wanting 22's but to get a decent sidewall I have to go to 285/45/22 and thats 32" tall and my stocks are 31.5 so my concern is rubbing in front.

i say go for the 22" SS style...would look great on your truck...i have a 265/45/22 which is 31.4" the ride is not bad at all...20" would look small..

I voted for #5.

Here is what I have on order right now. I am actually going down to 18's from 20's. But I have a 4x4 and live in MN. I prefer an average sized wheel with a meatier tire.

But that's just me.

i voted for the centerlines because the style fits the truck better....
the other wheels look too curvy for the truck, if that makes any sense... square looking truck, straight and sharp looking wheels is my rule...
but then again, 20's look small on these trucks even if they are lowered as much as mine is, and since yours is a bit higher, they will look even smaller...

just my opinion.....

I still have to say the Gibbs wheels based on the photoshop done on fsc. Either that or the first ones (chrome, not black) or 22" SS wheels since they looked so good on the red NNBS RCSB that was posted here.

But you gotta get lower.

I dont think your 20's look small. I think people that say that are referring that they look small in pictues....wonder what they would say to see them in person.

I mainly put the c-lines because they are light weight and I could run a 265 front and maybe a 295 rear and still tuck. The set would be 20x8 with 5"bs and 20x9.5 with 6"bs for the rear.

The chop lowdown did with the gibbs wheels does look good and the SS too.

The truck will be lower soon, about 1.5" front and 1.25" rear. All I have to do is put my cut coils up front and remove the block in rear. I should have that done soon. I cant go too low though.

Thanks for the help guys

None of them is my cup of tea, but we all like different things, if I hada pick I would go for the 1st set or the SS wheels..
