New Wheels for my '79

Hey guys, this year I'd like to give me self a gift. I plan to put some 20/22 wheels on my bagged longbed. The only problem is where to buy in different sizes and bs. Maybe you have some advice for me.
I realy like the style of:

Please be so kind to give me helping hand.
Best regards
Michel

2nd, no doubt.

I think wheels where you can see the lugs look a lot cleaner!

Re: New Wheels for my '79

OK, maybe my question was not detailed enough. I found a nice 20/22 combo. Would this fit?

20 x 8.5 offset +14mm bs 5.238

22 x 9.5 offset +16mm bs 5.810

Re: New Wheels for my '79

BTW, I would prefer the black ones because I think it looks more aggressiv and second point is that I don't have interest in cleaning the wheels all the time.

Ditto....but he's in Germany.....and blacked out (or color matched) wheels seems to be the style over there.........

Re: New Wheels for my '79

The black ones look fine, I think the Boss 304's would look a lot better than the driv Vixens though...the vixens kinda have a tuner look to them.
