I was looking into a pair for my bike and they're over 10k US just for the two rims.

Well, wouldn't you think for 2000.00 I could find some 20's that aren't crap? </font>[/QUOTE]Well anything that weighs over 25 lbs a rim is crap iMO, so it depends on what your opinion of crap is. When you add a bunch of unsprung weight to your vehicle it messes up the acceleration, braking, cornering, as well as adding more wear and tear to the moving suspension parts. My advice is to look into maybe some of Centerlines offerings, they look good, but are light weight as well, with lots of strength to boot.

20" is as big as I would go on an Explorer. The nicest looking Ex I have seen wears a set of machined 18" rollers but I have seen some really nice ones on 20's as well. Anything over 20" looks like a roller skate with a blue oval.
