Help me pick some wheels...(pics)

The truck is a 03 Sonic Blue L, has a billet grill, chrome tips, and currently has chrome 99/00 wheels (which will be for sale soon). First question do I go with 20's or 22's?? Second which rim do you like best from the following...

Chrome 5 spoke 20" for your truck. They will fill up your wheel well nicely and not be as rough as when you start getting up the 22's because you will probably have less sidewall also and it starts to make the ride rougher plus bigger wheels make for more work on the brakes which can effect braking distance. My 2 pennies worth and good luck.

The 1st one or the 4th ones bro. The 1st ones would look better IMHO but the 4th ones are nice too, but they might be a little to exotic for the truck. my 2 cents.

I like the first ones the best and would do it in 20's. These trucks were made for 20's as the 18's just look to small. 22's will require a very low profile tire and the ride will suffer plus you won't have as much protection for the rim. You can't go wrong with any of them.

The first one I think looks the best....will look sick with the sonic blue. I personally would go 20's. 22's will take longer to brake and also make you slower.

First wheel in 22s...

I can get that wheel in 22's with a 285/30/22 Pzero tire for like $2300-2500.

I was going to put those on my Harley before I sold them. Its a bad *** wheel.

The 285/30/22 is a perfect tire for the Lightning. It rides well... I had it on mine....
