    I like the wheel design but personally prefer 20's. Can you tell us what they are?

    Loving the 24's...these truck should have come with 22's or 24's in the first place. Your rims are very clean and classy...not like the big stupid rims that end up on DONKS!!! Thumbs up...I am thinking about a nice set of 5 spoke 24's in the future for my truck as well!!

    Yes, they are raceline wheels. I have just over $4500 in the tires and wheels. And yes the rearend was narrowed scode, 14 inches. You guys will be happy to know that these wheels are sold and I'll be picking up some new 24x15s for the rear and 22x8.5 for the front. Will have pictures up as soon as raceline gets them built/polished/and shipped

    So youre going with the same style wheel, just 22's in the front?

    You had to sell your old rears?

    I cant wait for pics, I think you made a good decision ---

    Even before that there were 21(VERY RARE..Mercedes Benz/Bentley) 22, 23 and 24 inch rims out in 2000...all that came about with the "Bling-Bling" Era...and to be honest....20's were considered big in 1998 when I graduated from high school...my sophmore year of college a kid from New York had 22's on his Yukon Denali....I remember watching MTV Cribs and Latrell Sprewel introducing 22 inch spinning rims in 2000.....again...to each is his own...I like big rims on trucks...it looks good...and if you, he , me or they work for our money everyday we can do what we want with it...

    I have been waiting for someone to do do that to these trucks. I love the look of big meat at the back with that huge lip. Just bad a$$. Love it.
