Never bought wheels, need some help

I am looking at replacing the wheels on my 2020 Laramie. I know the standard wheel is a 20x9 with 18 offset. Looking to get Vision Rebel 391 wheels and noticed a significant price difference between the stock 18 offset and a 12 offset. Can anybody weigh in and tell me am I even going to notice much difference? Any pics of any trucks that have a 12 offset? This is all new to me, so if it's worth it to spend the extra money I will, but saving 60$ or more per wheel for a potential small offset difference seems like a no brainer, or maybe im wrong?

These are the wheels https://www.discounttiredirect.com/buy-wheels/vision-rebel
142$ for 12 offset vs. 208$ for 18 offset.

Thanks!

that doesn’t make much sense to me. I don’t think most wheels cost more for a more negative offset. I know fuel wheels are the same whether it’s a 0 offset or a -18.

It seems to me that the difference in cost is too much to warrant the offset. I mean it is literally 6mm difference...about half a centimeter. It s going to push the wheel 6mm out ...no big deal...you won’t even notice the difference.

That’s what I was thinking? Maybe extra material for a more negative offset? But at $60 that would be absurd.

seems like a no brainer. Only thing I saw was that the12mm was a special order...it may be difficult to get ahold of them.

Thanks guys, I’m going to check availability on the 12 offset. Seems too good to be true.
