help me decide on wheels!

well, im in a pickle here, i cant decide which one of these wheels i want, both are 20x8.5, the eagle alloys are +40mm offset(6.29" backspace), the american racing +35mm offset(6.13" backspace), and the price difference is negligible. the american racing are readily available, and eagle alloys on backorder for nobody knows how long.....so heres my truck:

and the eagle alloy 026:

american racing AR894:

Help!

I like the eagle alloys better.

Have you considered black wheels?

I like the Eagle's a little better, but I'm biased.

I agree with the others. The Eagles. For me they just have a much cleaner design. Normally I'm not a chrome person, but I think that whatever wheel you choose if it's chrome it will complement the door handles and bumpers very well. It' up to you either way, but be sure to keep us posted!

Not a big fan of black wheels unless they are on a black or dark gray truck. And I have been lookin for about 2 months and so far these 2 and boss 315's are the only wheels that have caught my eye.... So I'll add the boss 315 into the mix. They are 20x8.5 +40 offset and thr same price as the rest, I actually like these more than the American racing.....

Neither of the wheels you chose is too far from the look of the stock wheels. So...? Why spend the money on wheels just to switch to 20"? Am I missing it here, or do you just want to lighten your wallet?

No, I am not. They look about the same, just bigger.
