Default Wheels for 3/4 Ton Silverado

So I'm gonna be getting a set of wheels for my truck here in the next couple of months. It's a CCSB 4x4 2003 2500HD Silverado. I'd like either 20" or 22" wheels that would look good with a street tire.

Does anyone have any ideas for wheels? The truck is an 8-lug, which really cuts down on my choices, and I'm having trouble finding any wheels that I like.

Thanks!
Brad

I like the intro pentia 8s and the billet specialties octane 8s. Pricey though. The raceline cr2 (I think) is also a good looking wheel. BMF Novakanes are nice, but don't know what offsets they offer.

I know that the Intros and Billet Specialties are out of my budget. I've seen the Racelines online for $240ish/wheel for 20x10s and $360ish/wheel for 22x9.5s in polished, which sounds pretty reasonable. The black ones are almost $100 per wheel cheaper.

MB motoring sells some nice looking off road wheels and they are reasonably priced as well! KMC makes nice looking 8 lug wheels too, but they are a little more expensive....

I'm really trying to steer clear of KMC and XD Series wheels, because it seems like around here if someone has an 8-lug truck and they put aftermarket wheels on it, they're gonna be XDs.

I priced a set of XD Addict 20s when I was still wanting to put an aggressive tire on it, and I could get those wheels for $250/wheel, which seemed pretty reasonable to me.

I'm not really wanting an off-road wheel, is the thing. I want something that I can get in a 22", and plan on putting some street tires on it. I NEVER go off-road, so spending all that money on an all-terrain tire that will never see dirt and will wear out faster seems kinda pointless to me.

I see what you are going after. Personally it seems like its gonna be a bit of a challenge simply because you have a 8 lug truck and all the wheels I have seen in a 8 lug pattern are off road wheels. I enjoy this kind of challenge though. So I'll see what I can come up with and get back to ya!

Thanks alot man!

Yeah, that's the problem that I've come up with so far too. I really doubt I lower it any more than just dropping the ***-end down a hair so that it's level with the front.
