Time for some new wheels and tires

While my car was up on a lift getting my hotchkis sways installed I noticed my rear tires are bald! So it's time for some rims.

I want 20" silver, polished, or possible chrome 10.5 in the rear and 9.5 in the front. Reasonably light.

Also what are the cheapest longest lasting tires? Toyo T1-R, Nitto Neogen? I've had good experiences wiht the BFG KDW2.

I really like the 5-spoke look and not looking to go with mesh wheels.
For wheels, I was leaning towards the Sevas S7, but the fake rivets turn me off. I like the GT-7's, but they're out of my price range. GT-S are my favorite but don't come in 20".

I know it has been asked a million times, but does anyone have any suggestions?

dont know about the wheels, but as for tires, ive had great results with the Dunlop Direzzas and the Kumho SPTs...both are very affordable, quiet, and long lasting......theyre both good looking tires and perform decent for the money.....check out tirerack.com for some prices.....good luck with your wheels and tires!!!

i say you buy some new rear tires and just save up for some nice wheels.. the Axis shine's look so bad to me because of the nasty finish on the lip. And the MRR's just look cheap. Save up for what you really want.

IMO, Sevas are the nicest 1 piece wheel, they look better than any Axis or other bargain brand wheel.

thats true until you curb them since they are chromed. Had a buddy knick one and the chrome started peeling and looked horribble. He had to order a new wheel after that

too much for my budget right now. really leaning on the Sevas S7's. chrome maybe silver on Athens Blue. I don't want black, any opinions? I wish they came in brushed or polished aluminum. the silver is kinda dull to me.
