We ended up going with the Ridler 695, they were of great quality and fit great! 20x8.5 and 20x10, I ended up going with the toyos 245/45/20 on the front and a 275/40 /20 on rear(295s couldnt be here for Christmas) Still looks pretty good though I think.

hey Dave,
Looks great!
Didn't find a see any ebay source for Ridler wheels at the price point you mentioned. (about 750? for the set?)
Mind sharing the source?
all told about how much did the package set you back?
