Are you talking about the silver ones on ebay? If so it's about the best price I've seen, but unfortunately they have the shitty 5.25" backspacing so they won't work well with a lowered truck. I've been trying to hunt down some Silver 22s but haven't had much luck.

I have a friend that says he will match that price. So I hope to get some but would like to some on a truck.

Either the 14mm offset or 30mm(I believe it is) offset will work. However, if you ever plan on lowering your truck, the 30mm offset is MUCH MUCH more desirable. The 14mm offset will work just fine, but not on anything much lower than a 2/4 drop unless you run a much smaller than normal size tire.

EDIT-The general rule of thumb is that you want less than a 3" difference between the width of the wheel and the backspacing of the rim. For instance a 14mm offset on a 20x8.5 rim equates to 5.25 backspacing which is a 3.25" difference between the width/backspacing and certainly isn't optimal.

I have them. 24x10 +30 (Black) but on a 2008 2wd Silverado. Bang for the buck they are hard to beat!

Depending on how low your truck is you need a 30 mm offset. I just posted pictures of my wife's truck lowered 3-5 with 22s and a 305-40-22 and it doesn't rub. I have my wheels for sale in the for sale section. Check them out, 22x9.5 and you can see them on a Yukon lowered 3-5 haha
