That blue joint isNT fam, I need some opinions. So as you might remember, I'm having a hell of a time sourcing tires for my Lightning. The cheapest ones I've found locally are $330 each, and the store is only showing 2 tires in their warehouse, they aren't sure if they can get 2 more. Other places want $380+ per tire. :x
So, another option I have is I found a set of 20's that are somewhat close to me (about 2 hours away). Only issue is I'm not really sure if they suit the truck or not. They're a 5 spoke design, same as the stockers, but chunkier. They're also pretty much brand new, and only $700. So, right now my options are to blow $1500 on some tires, which is crazy, or get these wheels and tires that are pretty much brand new, for less than half the price.
Opinions on the wheels would be helpful.
Stock Wheels (18s)
My terrible photochop (Concept 20s)
They don't look bad, but I'm just not sure. If they were closer, I'd just drive over and try one on to see, but the wheels are a 2 hour ferry ride away ($70 one way) so I gotta be sure about these. I really don't want to sink $1500 in tires into the truck, cuz as y'all have probably noticed, I buy and sell vehicles pretty often, and that would cut into my profits on this one.
Thoughts?
I'm personally not a fan of aftermarket wheels on a a vehicle as iconic as a Lightning but we've had a couple at our dealership that pulled off the aftermarket wheels pretty nicely.. I don't know if you want to go that big, but the white ones are on 24" Forgiatos.. i forgot the brand of the wheels on the blue one but those would look nice on your truck.. Both designs would suit it IMO.. Nice Lightning btw!
