I like the second ones better and i would stay with the 20 becasue 18 to me just seem wierd if you are going to get a crome rim mine as well get the right size

also like rchurch said you will spend more time cleaning the rims then the car its self

actually if they're chrome you can clean all 4 in about 10 min with meguiars final inspection...works awesome on chrome wheels, just spray on and wipe off, i had 20's on my truck and could clean the whole vehicle with that final inpection and the wheels in about 20 min

im only really buying these rims to use for like car shows ..or just for a sunny day not a everyday driving rim... in ky theres no way those rims would last as a everyday driver ..... thanx for the opinions though i realy apprecaite it...
Then I hope you have another car to drive everyday. And more bilng won't put you at an advantage at car shows. If it's a judged show the look at how clean and (if it's in a stock class) how correct your car is. If it's participant judging - well that's a toss up - people are going to vote for what they like.

I guess it depends on how dirty they are. When I clean chrome rims I also polish and protect them, so I can spend easily 10-15 minutes per rim.

my truck had ceramic pads on it, so the only thing i was wiping off was water spots, i didn't get any brake dust on mine @ all, never had to protect them @ all, i only drove the truck through the summer..so i didn't have to worry about salt and all that good stuff

Well, if gawdy is what you're looking for, Lexani is definitely the way to go. Neither is necessarily my taste, but I do like the second one better.

I say go for it, disco...if you like it, that's all that matters.

I had a lot of people tell me that my truck's exhaust was too loud and obnoxious (5.7L 350 sbc with dual 3" stainless straight-pipe flowing to a set of Thrush glasspacks. No cat conv.) but I loved it...and that's all that mattered to me. I liked scaring people with my exhaust when they pissed me off.

Don't forget to post pics when you get them!!!
