20" Not to Shiny

First time posting here but have been admiring from a distance. I am looking for a larger wheel/tire set for my black 2003 XLT 4WD. I am not a spring chicken so I want something not to flashy. I will be putting something like the Michelin LTX MS. I would appreciate any suggestions, pictures or links on a wheel that you gents have seen that looks good and is still suitable for a construction site.
Thanks
Jim

If you're going to be driving on a construction site I would not even think about running 20's...that would be about the roughest ride you've ever felt.

You could get 18's, but I dont think there is a very big selection for 18" wheels quite yet.

The construction sites are single houses and getting on and off can be a little tricky so a rough ride would be short. The truck is used in wet and snow conditions as I live in the Northwest. I am looking for a better look than the 16” Ford put on this truck. 20’s would fill the wheel well.

go after what is called alloy. Alloy is the gray looking rims that are painted grayish with a thick clear coat.

I was looking into getting some like this myself. The chrome will cause too many eyes to peer at my vehicle and temp theives.

This way it looks good but not overboard.

Or you can go with some lincoln navi rims.....

I recently got these. They are 20in mirrored finished wheels, and i love them. They are 10inches wide and I havent had any problems with them and they are not to flashy. However, whenever you go to a larger rim you start bringing attention to your vehicle anyway!



The tires are 33x12.5in Nitto Terra Grapplers. I had to lift my 4x2 to fit these though! But I love the way it looks!



If your going to want bigger tires such as 33's, 35's or more, your going to have to do alot of searching to find them for 20's. Your selection of tires becomes limited.

I got my package at http://www.discounttiredirect.com. Good prices with free mounting and shipping too.

That is a nice looking wheel tire combo. I decided to go with the SVT Lightning 18 / 9.5 with Nitto NT 404 305/55R18. Discount Tire and they are giving me a trade in as my current wheels and tires only have 25k miles on them. Should get out the door for a grand.
Thanks

These may be too much for you, but I am selling a pair of thse in the classifieds if you want to check them out. But they're 22s. If 20s are what you're looking for, they're Giovanna Anzios
