Decision on 23's Help

i have a set of 20" neeper monstas on my truck and just recently decided to step up to a 22" monsta. they just came today and the quality is terrible compared to my 20". i refused them and it turns out , the guy sent me blemished wheels so he could make more money. be careful who you order your wheels from.
I'll have to vote 'no' on both size and style.
As for style, I like to see more open area in the wheel. Helps with brake cooling and just looks better to these eyes. Also, ever larger sizes does nothing for me. Massive is ok up to a point but anything larger than 19 or 20 (and, actually, I like 18's best) on a Lightning creates diminishing returns in my opinion. The larger diameter hurts quarter-mile times and the additional unsprung weight hurts handling and ride quality.

I like big rims but not those. Too much chrome...too much attention (can be good and bad). I would go with the 23 inch Antera's. Looks isnt everything....ride quality will suffer, not optimal for best ETs, tire prices are outrageous, not enough sidewall with low pro's, cambers are jacked up, and speedometer will be off. High School kids will be all over your jock (not in High School forever). Not to mention, thieves love the "bling bling." You wont even know when someone is "stakin" out your ride...can't watch it forever. Parking in areas you arent safe with parking is a hassle (un-needed stress). Hope you have a garage. A lot of things to consider besides wanting to be the pimp of the block IMHO
