Question 20 inch to save money...?

Here's my thinking. The standard 18 inch goodyears are a pain to buy. Only one company makes em, expensive, etc. etc. So, logic would tell you to upgrade to a 20 inch replica rim and 20 inch tire, since they are more common (all the homies rollin dubs), thus I would save some money in the long run and get a 20 inch rim?
Logical? Good idea? Tossing this out there. Feedback appreciated.

it all depends, there are other kinds of 295/45/18's out there, Toyo makes one and goodyear, and they are cheaper than the 20inch rubber....

replicas in silver is gonna run you like $1000 for 20's.

the cheapest 20 inch tire out there in 295/40/20 is like $170 but it's a piece of crap goodyear with gay thread and not so good in snow/ice/ even dry traction.

so if you want a better look then yeah go with the 20's but you will not be saving any money....

That beats the $199 at Tirerack for the back ordered Goodyears.

How many miles can I expect out of the Toyos? My Goodyears are lasting 20,000.
