Help me make my wheels decision?

Okay guys I need some help with this decision. I know what some of the answers will be but I still got to ask.

I'm going to have a 4/6 drop when it's all said and done.

Do I keep my 17 inch Boyds?
Go with the 20's with ONLY 400 miles on the tires for $900?
Go with the Eagle 20's with used tires for $900 or new tires for $1100?
Or go crying back to tnblazerk5 and buy my 15's back?

Help me out and take the poll

I like the wheels in first picture. Second pic wheels aren't bad either. I don't think I would go back to 15's after a 4/6 drop. ...........Jerry

Does anybody have a pic of a truck with the Eagle wheels on it. I've looked through my pics and can't find one. It's not a side pic of the wheel so I can't go the photoshop route.

Sorry Keith,

I guess I should have put a 5th choice in there for "They all suck"

Still looking for some pics of a truck with the second pic on them. And if the guys on the photoshop board can help me out over there and respond to my thread about putting the wheels in the first pic on my truck.

Here's a better pic, but smaller of the first wheel. It doesn't seem to be getting much love.

Rob-I didn't think that was a realistic option.

To be honest I really like the first ones but I'm kind of waiting on somebody on the photoshop board to help me see what they look like. I know the Eagle ones will look good. Those things would look good on a chevette.

Just send the 17"s to me, thus relieving yourself of mental stress and gaining storage space.

hey Bryan, remember those are not the eagles for sale. the ones for $1100 with new tires are also new wheels that are in the box. they look just like those (except shinier) no need for a polish just yet. i bet he'll take another $100 off the $1100 with cash, he's a cash kinda guy.

i would keep your 17's and run them in the winter, that's what i do, that way i'm not running around on $600 worth of tires in non cruisin weather.
