Default Why is finding rims such a pain in my . . .

. . . . A$$. So I will be due for some new rubber coming up soon and I want to run my stock 17s with a/ts during deer/duck season and have a nice set of wheels for the rest of the year. I have wanted either tahoe 20s or the new silverado 20s the LTzs I think. However the problem with this is that the prices are astronomical. I know I shouldn't complain about price, but I'm 23 with a new career and money isn't exactly flowing in like the 93 flood. I don't mind spending some cash for a nice set of rims, but I would like to keep it realistic.

I have a past thread on tahoe 20s, but I have been looking for awhile and it is tough to find them for cheap. I am starting to open up to other options. So I am turning to you. . . my fellow enthusiasts for a little help. I need some opinions on wheel/tire/size combo for a z71 cc that is a daily driver. Weight doesn't concern me a whole lot, the truck is already a pig. I don't want to pay a boatload, and I want 20s or 18s. I do not like black rims. I have always liked the DC-1s like these.



I appreicate all the input, remember I'm on a 23 year old budget. I am not going to lay down my life savings on wheels and tires. Here are just a couple pics of my truck for those of you who haven't seen it. . . and yes paint matched handles and upper val are coming. Thanks yall.
