I had them on my 97 4x4 and they made the truck look great. I would do it if I was you.

yeah i'd definately get them if i were you. I've been watching for a set for my truck but jesus they are going for outrageous prices. Take the deal while its there!
I'm looking at these at the moment.

I'll let you know if I decide to sell my 20's.
i agree...i bought a set of srt-10 22" the nigh runner edition and i'm thinking bout selling my stock 20's but cant quite decide yet...where'd you find those wheels at?

Ok ... so a friend of mine has a 2003 RAM R/T with the 20" Chrome rims, but he is changing them to something custom. So he offered them to me for $200 total. I mean thats dirt cheap. I have an '02 QC but I'm not sure that I want them. I mean they look sweet, but then I would have to buy 20" tires (because he is keeping the tires on them now), the truck would ride a bit rougher and I would have HEMI wheels on a non-HEMI truck which might be kindof stupid. I dunno ... what do you guys think? I mean $200, what the hell I should buy them anyways right?
The other guys were right about the 20's being an option for most of the trucks. But I'd like to comment on the rougher ride. You might get a lil rougher ride, but I have also seen more premature ball joint, and tire cupping failures on trucks that had the 20's than trucks with the 17's. Also, I hope you plan on keeping your other rims, because "A" you won't find good winter tires for under $150 on 20" rims, and "B" I wouldn't want my good rims in the salt through the winter. However $200 is a steal for a set of 20's. I'd buy still buy them if I were you. Just my $.02

I would def keep the 17's also for winter wheels ... how much do the 20's throw off your speedometer?

just a comment i went from 17s to 20s and the truck at first rode rough, cuz i had gotten 55 series tires. Now i went to a 60 series and its mcuh better . The 17s handle better imo but the 20s look alot better, so just ask urslef that question. If you go with the 20s get a nice tire with no less than a 60 series on the side wall ,i would recommend
