Budget wheels/tires. Let me know what u think...

My dad bought an 08 XLT 4x4 supercrew which came with base 17" wheels and he just simply wanted something that looked nicer, but didn't want to spend more than like $1200, and his needs are 100% street with occasional snow. Now, these wheels would definitely not be my first choice, but I think they are decent and very nice considering the price, as they were only $75 each! Total package was only $950 SHIPPED, from Discount Tire Direct: 20x8.5 KMC City stars with Hankook AS RH07 275/55/20's. They are being shipped to him now, but in the meantime here's their galler pic:

1st4x4, These are the wheels AND tires, and they are 20's not 17's, brand new from discounttiredirect.com. Personally I have never seen brand new 20" chrome wheels sold for $75 each from a major distributor. By the way, the wheels are made by KMC. Kinda funny I got these wheels and tires for that price when I paid $600 just for the rear tires on my Z06, which are 18's...granted, wider.

I thought they were a little bit blingy/ricerish too @ first, but I've seen wheels MUCH worse, and I think that website seems to make the wheels look bigger than they really are. I saw pics of these wheels on a Frontier and they looked pretty good, and for $75 each minus a $50 online coupon, they are dirt cheap, and certainly look much better than the stock base 17's.

Thanks. To me it had more of...like an upper-end OEM wheel type of a look...like maybe something you would see at a show on an upcoming F150 top of the line Lariat or special edition for example, than it did a ricer or guido type look, if ya know what I mean. I know it borders on that but I think it leans more toward the other side.

Thanks. Its actually my dads truck and he lives in NJ, next time he is up here or I am down there, which should be soon I'll snap some pics and post here. I just can't believe how cheap they were. 20" wheels/tires for $950 shipped? Hell, I just paid $600 just for the rear tires on my car; 305/35/18 Nitto DR's and they only last 15-20k miles, lol

Fyi, those wheels are sold out now. The salesman told my dad he's lucky he ordered when he did because he supposedly got the last set. So, anyhow my link above isn't working anymore because the wheel is now taken off their website since there is no more left. I saw an ad on a Nissan Frontier website where the guy was selling the same wheels and said he paid $250 each for them.
