Question Opinions on which rims to buy for my truck!

Well I am finally getting my rims. I have narrowed it down to 3 that are available and that I like. They are all going to be 20 x 8.5 Chrome with Michelin Rubber.
Please post your choice if you have 1. They are listed in random order.
Thanks Trev
So far its 6 votes for Matrix, and 13 votes for American Eagle 060 and 1 for the Falkens.

They are the American Eagle 060 series:

Or the Falken Roid Series:

Or the American Racing Matrix Series:

Without seeing them on your truck, it's hard to tell. But the American Eagle 060 looks best to my eye.
Have fun
Chris

Also in your conditions and for the ease of cleaning, the lugs would be covered so no crap enters.

And also what size tire do you want? Something for summer on-road driving or off-road driving ?

I like the American Racing Matrix. Has a clean agressive look and will be very easy to keep clean. Next set of wheels I purchase, I will definitely base a lot on ease of cleaning. Mine take too long now and becomes a pain in the ****.

I want the tire to be all season due to the weather extremes we get up here. I also want a wider tire than factory up to 300 or so.
Thanks Trev

I'd keep shopping, but with the choices I'd go with the 060's. I don't like the style of the matrix because it has no depth. That makes it look too much like a car rim.

I vote for the AE 060's. I prefer the open lugs over the covered lugs.
