99-00 or 01-02 Rims???? Pics Please

after this winter, im thinking of putting on 20's....

and i was wondering which would look better on my Silver Lightning, i like both 01-02 and 99-00 Rims, they are both sweet rims, but which one do you think is the best? and do you have any pics you guys? i dont care 18's or 20's in chrome on your truck.

what's the weight difference? Price of the Rims etc...

One stock chrome front wheel with a nitto 555 295/45/18z rated tire weigh about 68lbs. These are 18's. Look in the classifieds sometimes you can get some good deals.

RTKILLA, are those 18's or 20's i can't tell cause of how low you have your truck......

what do you guys suggest??? it's a toss up if you have a red/ black truck, but all the silver one's i've seen with the older rims look super sweet......

I personally think the cuisinart 01-02 rims are pretty fugly..but some people claim to actually like them.

Get what YOU want..not what WE want.

yeah i did, the thing that got my attention was the Bassani! i didnt really know who it was till you got right by us, and i was thinking, "hey that's josh and karen", i thought it was cool. karen told me that she told you to peel out to get my attention, you should of!

i just put the alpine cva1003 in the L, it's pretty sweet.

Here is a pic of my truck when I had the 99-00 20" chrome wheels on it, I was using 295/40/20 tires and it was a nice set up.
The only reason I changed was because I wanted to be one of the first with an L to run some 22's.
I really did like the look of the replica 20's and it rode very nice with them, while keeping the factory look.

Thanks.
Get the 295/40/20 .It is a lower profile tire.Closer to stock height then the 275/45/20.But the 275 will fill the wheelwell better if you do not have a drop.
RTKillas are 20 inch 99/00 reps.
