ordering new 20" rims tomorrow

[soundstreamer 10+ year member]

i've been running the same 16" 4x4 logoed rims for almost 2 years now. i looked at a local tire shop that i've done business with a few times in the past. after seeing what they had in stock, i also browsed through their manufacturer's brochures, i decided on the rims in my avitar( american racing fuel 8 ). the reason i picked them is that they are a new model(so not many others will be rolling on a matching set), they will sorta hide my rear drum brakes, and they have a design that isn't too complicated...but not too simple, one piece, and won't be too awful expensive because i get killer deals on ar rims at this shop(~$2000 for 4 rims wrapped in 275/45r20s with lugs, stems, mounting/balancing).

what do you think about my desicion? have any other brands/designs you think i should look at?

here's a pic of the truck(1989 lowered 4x4 chevy):

update! i ordered and paid for the ar fuels saturday, found out monday they are backordered and to expect a mid may delivery...which i can't deal with. i was disturbed with the fact they only came as big as 20" anyhow. i went with some 22" chrome boss 311s(new avitar pic) and some toyo proxes s/t 265/40r22s for a grand total of $2200 now. the rims will be in on monday and the tires will be in on thursday.

thanks for the link, bhsswrstlr, but too late for me. there are some rim designs on that site i could definatly live with. i was looking on the internet before i went to the tire shop but was affraid of getting a misorder, bad fit, and no local support. the local shop took the time to deal with me and help me decide what i wanted, will test fit the rims and tires on the truck before i am sent down the road with them, gives free flat repair/rebalancing/rotating, and will give me good deals when i return.

unfortunately, the rims and tires are unable to tuck like i was hoping. they are as far out as the outer-most point on the fenders. i lowered the front 1.5" and started to hit the fenders on bumps while braking. it's back up for now until i can find some coil over shocks to stiffen the suspension up front. i'm lowereing the back 1" this weekend and ordering airbags for load hauling purposes.

looks pretty nice...clean up the truck though...shave the handles etc(at least get a car wash or something)...
