DBL.G Wheels?

Anyone know anything about these? Offset? Finish quality? goods or bads?
I'm looking at the series 405/Anzio's in 20" to use with Toyo 305/55R20's, advice as always is greatly appreciated.
And yes, I did search about and got no hits.

Looks like a great wheel Nick, take your time during your decision. If you get a knockoff of any wheel make sure you ask (once again) what backspacing, offset, wheel width, etc they have (even if they look identical). They almost always differ in offset, I almost learned that the hard way with a knockoff hulk and the shady socal wheel company, I can find out their name.

Thanks guys, still hoping someone knows more about these. The price is nice, but I can't find info on the offset for the 20" x 9", all I keep hearing is that they will fit the 6 x 135 pattern. It's between these and the Mazzi Hulks.

The offset needed for our trucks range from 35-42. We have a high offset due to our brake set up and a few other factors
They are a good quality wheel made by Giovanna. It is their entry level wheels DBL G's

What do you consider a nice price?

Well, actual advice is always appreciated from everyone. You, in fact, have given me pretty good advice in the past, so thank you.

What I am hoping for is the tire to sit pretty flush with the fender so I don't need to get new flares. I like the ones already from the factory. So, as far as I can tell, and I have been wrong on so many things in my life, I would need somewhere in the range of a 5.0"-5.5" backspacing to get the desired effect with the 305/55R20 Toyo Open Country's.

BTW, I love your truck!

I would have never known you even read my reply to the magnaflow and supension installation issue which is why I felt you were like many of the other members here and on other sites. I use to think that people enjoy saving money on a purchase but I have been proven wrong on that more in the last 6 months than in my last 30 years of doing business.

To gain the look you want, your tire choice will be the determining factor since your offset and backspacing is limited by your choice of wheel, size 20x9, our bolt pattern 6x135 and high offset of 35-42.

But so you have a # 4.5-5" backspacing

You need to find out your tire width and that will let you know if you need to go bigger or smaller in tire size to achieve the flush look

You also have a nice truck. I guessed you were going for the lowered look but your tire choice said my guess was wrong.

Whats your wheel price?

AnaheimDrew thanks for the compliment. I was going to go for a lowered truck but I was always on the fence on that. I just found out I am moving out of state in Septemeber. So I will end up in either Denver or Charlotte (depends on where my company decides to send me) and will be on some more interesting roads than the asphalt jungle we have here. Sooo..considering I've normally had lifted trucks, I'm going that route again. That and in my eyes Screws look better lowered than Scabs. The proportions just look odd to me on dropped Scabs sometimes, I can't explain it.

Thanks for the heads up on the wheel/tires. Also, good to know they are good quality. I didn't quite understand what you were saying about people not liking saving money. I know I have made some silly decisions on getting the instant gratification thing, that always costs me more.

ETA: Sorry, just saw the questions. I found these for $1100/set plus tires. Still shopping tire prices, best I found for those is $289/ea. If you know where I can get them for less I'd be really appreciative.

Company is setting up two new field offices and I get to head one up. Which one is still up in the air, but it's a good move for me anyway.

Escrow banking, mainly focusing on mergers and acquisitions, but pretty much all types, real estate, personal, etc.

And Thanks, I'm pretty stoked. This means going back to buying a house from renting an apartment. Woohoo!

Well, the wheel width is 12.01"...so what offset should I be shooting for? 5.0"? Would that get me to be flush with the fenders so I don't need new flares?
