i bought a set of 2 of these foose rims yesterday and i am not sure if i like them or not. they are 20" X 10" and they fit on the rear. i would have to but a smaller pair for the front like 18"X8" but let me know what you think good or bad.

thanks man its just i got a really good deal on them and its gunna cost a ton to buy 2 more rims and then tires so i want to be totally sure before i do. if they didnt have those bolts all the way around i would love them i just think it makes them look cheap like something you would buy at pepboys
 
thanks mel! i was also thinking if i bought the front rims what if i got the ones without the bolts in them? would it look weird if the backs had them but the fronts didnt?
 
should've saved your doe bro...they look nice but i just hate buying incomplete sets of anything, especially rims...summit had a clearance with two torque thrust 17' wheels for the low..but i would've had to buy two full price ones and tires..at the end of the day i wouldn't have saved that much money so i just held off...and i really like the torque thrust wheels.. but that's just me.

it was around the same price..i almost bought them but once i saw the price for another two and a set of tires i was convinced. for someone on a budget i need the whole set up front for the love price..i just hate piecing stuff together..i would've asked where are the other two tires?? whats the retail price of those?
 
Those Foose legends can retail for around 2k for a set of 4 in 20's.... Id stick with the same design with the front. I am a fan of the smooth ones as well but for the price you paid you can't beat that! Depending on the color of your car you could either paint the wheels or keep them chrome

If you were sticking with the black theme u could paint the centers black and leave the hardware chrome or paint the center and the hardware black to make it less noticeable

I personally like it in all chrome if you plan on adding color to the car. I think this truck looks good with the hardware exposed
