I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Black. I just put on 20"s, and I want to know what everyone thinks about that? Also I live in Minnesota, I would also like to know about cleaning my rims for winter, or just not using them? If I do keep them on, what is the purpose of cleaning them, what does it prevent? also how should I clean them.

I'm into "Pimping Rides" as I'm in the process of doing mine. I'm originally from Northern Iowa and know what Minnesota winters are like. Personally, I would not use them in the winter time unless you kept them clean. My friends used to take off their wheels for the winter time too. Now if you don't mind taking the chance that you won't mess them up, then keep em' on. I know if I spent the money on them, I wouldn't even take the chance.
Road Salts and Sands are harsh on vehicles. Why do you think there are so many rusted out vehicles in the midwest. And other drivers tend to drive not so well. I'd hate for you to scratch them into a curb because of you sliding on ice and snow. I think if you kept your wheels clean, you'd at least prolong your chances of not messing them up.

***Use the proper wheel cleansers because some will totally f up the finish on the wheel and its very hard to get it back to it's original shine.
