For what vehicle?

If it's a Jeep or other small SUV, 1 1/2" .120 should work fine. I'd suggest 1 3/4" .120 DOM, but that is just me. Can't put a price on your life you know...

I was wondering if anyone new some good 17X10 wheels. It seems like newer model vehicles these days only accept big wheels, which explains the reason that I see so many with 20" rims with very narrow low profile tires. I'm looking for minimum size of 17" but I want a 10 or 12 wide so I can put some meat on. I had a 96 dodge with 6" of lift and 36X13.5" swampers years ago. I have been into street rigs since then but I'm ready to come back to 4 wheeling and the whole tire and wheel thing has changed so much that I don't even know what to buy. I mean can I even buy a deep dish 20? Please tell me where to look because the sites that I have been to only have very narrow wheels which aren't appealing to me at all. Even with 20's, most tires only go up to a 35 and then straight to 49's or bigger. Please forgive me for I haven't done alot of research yet but I want to buy soon.
