Default Wheel choices........thoughts??
So, I might actually have my wife talked into letting me get a set of wheels for the GXP, so I've been looking around and have found a few that I like. Here they are in no particular order:

#1


#2


#3


I like #1 for the fact that they're a bit different from the norm and I've always loved the snowflake design. #2 resembles the same wheel that DP is rocking on his GXP, and I freakin' love them (hate the thought of being a copycat though). #3 keeps with the factory 5 star look just in the bigger size. The wheel I go with will be a 20".

Thoughts?

Joe.

i like # 2 also. i think that those style of wheels just fit the gxp perfectly. idk about #1, just too many spokes for me, #3 i think you should get rims that have a lip on them.

All of them are nice, but I like #2 because it has a clean look and I'm partial to the lip. Tough choice!

Lol... Well as is usual, I like #1. I've always been drawn to that type for some reason.
I do like #2 as well.
#3 eh not so much, too close to factory.

So what size would you get getting? I know you said 20 but what about offsets?
