Smile 20" Rims and Lowering Shackles?

I'm looking to get some 20's soon, either Enkei RT6 or black SRT 10. I'm not sure what tires to get, as I want something a little more low profile than trucky's. Which rims y'all think look best, and what size tire?

I would go with the enkei because the srt wheels are kinda blowing up.

I would go for the Enkei.

Clearance for the front tires will be your only concern when getting a tire to fit. If they will fit on the front without major modification, they will fit on the rear so drop shackles will work fine for you. You will probably get some rubbing in front with most tires and you may have to trim the mud flaps a little.

Eric why is that a hold up? Bad company?

canadian dakota I've looked and looked, but they don't sell them black. I wonder what it would cost to get the professionally powdercoated? This guy has them and they look tight

powdercoating is quite cheap....but

when i had my stock TRX rims on i was going to have them done but i had to get the rims blasted first for the powdercoating to work good.

got some quotes...figured it be cheaper to buy a new set of wheels.
