Buying one rim at a time. Help Pick. (Pics)

In a week or so I'll be placing a order for one rim. Yes, that's right I said one rim. Due to amount of money I have a month to play with, $600, after paying off all my bills I've decided to buy one rim at a time, and hope that my parents will get the hint and pay for at least one rim for xmas. That and because I think I'll send the money on a berreta I've been eyeing or a boat at academy if I have it sitting in the bank. I've cut my chooses down to three rims which are pictured below, give me your input on which rim looks better. You may also recommend a rim you would think would be a good choose even if it's not pictured below. I really dont want to spend over $370 on one rim itself. Tires will come after I have all the rims, and will be financed so I don't have to wait to get them on.

$333
Diamo 17 Karat 20x10 20x10, Back Spacing = 5.03 in.; Offset = -12 mm


$245
Series 1082 - Mojave - Polished 20x10, 6 on 135;BackSpacing = 4.5 in.;Offset = -25 mm


$337
Moto Metal 951 Chrome 20x10, 6 on 135 / Back Spacing = 4.79 in.; Offset = -18 mm



A fourth as been added cuz I can't keep my eyes off of it.

$272
XD 778 Series 20x9, 6 on 135 / 6 on 5.5; Back Spacing = 5.70 in.; Offset = 18 mm

Pro Comp All Terrain, 275/60R20($216). Or maybe some Pro Comp Xterme Terrain, LT325/50R20, ($404).

I really haven't decided on tires just yet. Since I still got alot of time to think about it.

True but not to throw anything in your face, I think it's becuase they are some of the best out right now. Do many people have them here in the McAllen area? I know Boggus Ford puts them on all there project trucks.

Why do you need to buy new rims? Nothing is wrong with your rims. Just get some new tires and call it a day. There is a guy on here that had the chrome clad steel wheels with 35s and it looked bitchin' IMO.

Well Boggus is in McAllen and they do push many "project trucks", so I guess you answered your own question. Look,you asked my opinion and I gave it, bottom line get whatever makes YOU happy.

I can't fit 35's without a 6" lift. It's a 2wd.
