I rode my 20"s for ~35k miles before I swapped them for 17"s. I lated sold 4 of my 20"s to a local buyer for probably $400 who put them on his 3rd gen 4R. (I had my spare stolen.)
I bought a set of 4x 17" OR from a guy who had the dealer add on Pro wheels, and later bought a set of 4x 17" OR + the stock Dunlops from a guy who bought aftermarket wheels.
So now, I have have a set of 5 17" OR wheels, which I prefer (plus I like the looks), and made a net gain on the transaction since I bought a set of wheels + unused tires (which saved me from buying new tires when 2nd set wore out). I also have 3 extra wheels laying around that I keep telling my wife I am selling, so she'd say she's lost on this deal, but she doesn't read this forum.
YMMV, I'm just saying there are particularly *easy* work arounds if you don't like the 20" wheels. What worked for me was very much cheaper than the Black Rhino wheels I was craving, and I really like the look of these OR wheels. And I actually love the 20" wheels, but took them off road and either got stuck (running HT) or got bounced and decided I needed a different approach.
