I was looking at Billet Specialties or Foose wheels, but they bait you with some obscure size. When you click on the 20" wheels your wallet falls out of your pocket and runs for the door.

Anyone have suggestions on where to shop for the best prices? Also want to verify BS on front and rear with a 4/6 drop.
If you're wanting true forged Billet wheels, then yes, $5000 for set is commonplace. However, if you're willing to settle for cast wheels, there's lots of options in the $1000-1500 range. If you're one Facebook, look up Dave Cooper in Jamestown, TN. You won't find a better priced set of wheels anywhere, and he has tire and wheel packages ready to go.

Now, with all that said, and you're talking about possibly going with a different sized wheel, what are your plans for the truck? Cruising and street brawling, or handling?
