THERE IS ONLY ONE CHOICE
Chrome 99 Rim's, you can get a complete Set "Brand New" for $500.00 (or less) if you hunt around

Wink wheels

I choose American Racing Torque Thruster II
20x10 with 6.25 inch back spacing. ( you can select the back spacing)
Still has alot of that deep dish look if you like that.
At the time I wanted chrome stock 20" replicas for the '99 but could not find them anywhere. They are still my favorite.
295x20 Tires.

Centers are chrome, rims are polished aluminum, ok to keep shiny.

A bit steep in price..never ever go thru a car wash..once was stupid.
the aluminum gets scratched but it does buff out.

Talking wheels again

Recently at a car show I saw a RED Lightning ( a UTI truck)
that has 24 " chrome wheels I didn't care for the look of the wheel but man did that truck draw lots of attention. The truck looked small in comparison.

They put it on the dyno at the show and pulled 600 HP at the rear wheels UTI did a great job with it.

UTI is that school for auto techs.

Actually there are only three choices. Here are the '01-'02 chromies. I have the chrome SVT centers now so I need to update the pic(s).

You know what I totally forgot about those, and to tell you the truth I think I've only seen 01/02 chromies a couple of times before. Mn I got to tell ya I absolutely loved those rims on my 02 (and they wernt even chrome), they look AWESOME in Chrome.
And they may just be THE WINNER
(at least in my eyes)

YA THERE'S ONLY 3 CHANCES GOT DAM IT !!!
(ya I know I change my mind like LL goes through Benz's) baw ha ha ha

I'd have to agree with Rob that the 01-02 chromies are "supreme"... The only reason I didn't get that year is because I wanted to keep the original wheels chromed.

Chrome OEM wheels are a solid choice and are affordable, however if you want to drop some weight and cash Forgeline, HRE, DPE, I Forged all have custom choices available and can built to any size, like I said be ready to drop some coin.
