Wheel questions?

I know this is the Excursion forum, but my question has to do with wheel choices. What company makes quality forged 20" wheels for the Ex. I'm putting a set on my wife's, and don't want low quality, low weight rated, high bling versions. I want high quality, high weight rated, high bling, models. Any thoughts? I'll search for my suspension woes/question(s). Thanks.

I was looking at the Enkei Phatt wheel. It's 20 x 8.5. It's rated at 3400#. What do ya think? Also, can I fit the 305/55/20 Nitto Terra Grappler under there without having to lift it? Mine is a 2wd. Those American Eagles look nice. I may have to give them a shot.

Ditto Monsta's remarks. I've got a set of 17" Weld Evo (Velociti 6 model I believe) w/ 35" BFG A/T's and love them. I know they are a solid hunk of billet and they make up to 22" or so. Nice, tough and well balanced. Bling and function.

I may have to take a look. I was just told that the 20 x 10 won't work due to my truck being a 2WD. I'm gonna look at some 22's that are a little narrower. I'm into drag and road racing. My VW Passat is slammed to the ground and performanced out. I'll leave the 4-wheeling to my crew cab Sierra Duramax. This is the family hauler. It's gotta last, and look good. Thanks for the info.
