Default RT-S or Torq Thrust ST wheels?

I want to keep my stocker/Toyo combo for racing and buy a set of 20" wheels for cruising. What do you think will look better on my truck? Right now I plan on keeping my truck's suspension stock except for the rear shackles. Here is my trucK:


Here is the American Racing RT-S wheel:


Here is the American Racing Torq Thrust ST wheel:


I'm kinda leaning towards the Torq Thrusts but I really like the "black on black" look. I will probably use 285/50-20 tires. What do you think?

Nothing against anyone running the torque thust wheel, but I think the 6 spoke looks like *** on a torque thrust. I vote the RST myself.

Like I said, nothing against anyone running them, even you
It's just when you look at the 5 spoke TT next to a 6 spoke, the 5 spoke looks so much better. I hate 6 lug wheels, there are so many better looking 5 lug wheels out there.

Agreed I was just messing with you, they will be changed once I get through with the go fast stuff, I just got a damn good deal on them that I couldnt pass up.

I would go with the RT-S. Have you looked at the KMC 820 SS? I do not know if the spoke design changes with the 6 lug.
