Im am starting to look at new rims for my Hoe - 1999 2wd 4 door. I have never bought an aftermarket set of rims so I am looking for all and any suggestions. I dont really have a set in mind, havent decided if i want to do chrome or black so Im starting from the very begining on this. Places to look, what to look for, what to watch out for, steps to fit. I am looking to get some 22" and will be bagging it I'm the future months. If you have pics, links, suggestions - cool. Thanks for looking!

personally id take the foose's over any of them, but I wouldn't run any of them

I like the look of the American Racing Novas and the chrome KMC D2s.

Suggestions? I like the input, kinda why I started this. Im not really sure on what I want so I wanted peeps to throw some stuff out there to make me think outside the box. Pics, websites, etc. Thanks though!

a lot people will say billets, and i am one of them haha. they are pricey to say the least but nothing beats the look. i personally like an old school look on the obs for some reason. something like the bonspeed clutch (1st pic), no info for the second besides the truck isnt around anymore and had a pretty stout blown 408 stroker in it, and the billet specialties slg60. other brands: budnik, intro, colorado custom, raceline, centerline

i have been looking around now at all the sites, places that sell, craigslist and I'm really liking those Bonspeed clutch, quasar and the sweep; then the Billet Specialties Hiboy, SLG02; Boze Laguna; STINGRAY III. Those are a few Ive looked at. Bonspeeds my favorites thus far though so they all get looked through those. Most stuff is 20s and obviously the 20s are cheaper than the 22s. I think if I get 20s later on Ill be beating myself up for not getting 22s. Ive got enough saved to buy only 2 of the 22s so Ill save a little more. So wether new or used Im looking. orking 7 days with T and DT help this cause for sure. Thanks for all the input! When comes time to buy Ill probably be asking questions about offsets and backspacing.

Been working a lot of OT saving that cash and was going to get a nice set of bonspeeds or racelines then mom-in-law got he 06 gto repo'd like a dumbass. Wife was sad so me being nice gave her 1200 to help get it back. SO now being down 1/2 of what I had saved...I was browsing and came across this set of Eagle Alloys series 212 which I like everytime I see them.

Dude on mautofied has them for sale and hit him up to see if he would ship (illinois) but havent heard back in like 3 weeks or so. Cant find them on their site nor other sites but I came across this site Eagle Alloys ::: Series 212 which has them. Never having ordered rims, would it be a safe bet ordering from this place? If I did how would a 20x8 +27 off in front and a 20x9.5 +27 in back (or should do +14?).
