Default Helo Wheels? or other?

Possibly looking at upgrading my wheels sometime and wanting to go with a black and chrome colored or even black and machined..i really like the design of the helo 835's but i have been reading that people havent had good luck with helo wheels. Is this true? Or even if you guys have your own opinion on other style and brands of wheels, that would be great too..just trying to incorporate the black and chrome look. So def open to your comments and opinions on this wheel choice or other wheel choices..

If you are reading that people are not having good luck with those wheels, then why would you even consider paying good money for them???

Why the 20" wheels on a 4x4, strictly a pavement truck???

BMF and KMC XD both are excellent choices. You didn't mention price, but you can find a little more reasonably priced offerings from Mickey Thompson and Dick Cepek as well.

Gotta second the Mickey's and Cepek's. Tough to find wheels with better strength to weight ratios for the money...

and yeah, you'll be fine with 20" wheels, off-roading needs as much sidewall as you can get, but for road use you're good...
