Please post up your favorite rims, need ideas??

Looking for 20" rims for my '79 Chevy S10 and the search is endless!!
I want something in chrome and I was looking at the Torq Thrust M rims but they seem to be overdone, but still considering them.


Please post some pics of what you're running now or what you dream about having someday.

Thanks,
Mark

These are Intro Twisted Vista I think. I asked about them at a local tire and rim shop and the owner said I'd easily be spending about 5 grand on a set. Idk about the pricing in your area though.

Got 2 agree with n2 on the salt flat style wheel he posted up. Slots are cool as well on 4x4s.

I don't really want to go over $300 a wheel and I love the 5 spoke style wheel with the big deep dish look. Chrome would be nice but I don't mind polished.
Those Von-Max VM4 wheels I posted are only $250 for the 20 x 9.
I'd like to go 20 x 10 on the rear though and I don't believe they make it in that size.

Thanks guys, keep em coming!

Dcenti DW19A. $210 for 20s, $271 for 22s. Look like the other five spokes but aren't. Good budget wheels, another company I haven't heard of but they claim to be Made in the USA.
