Nice. I like the wheels. Flashy, but simple and clean looking.

What kind of drop are you looking to get?

I have the same exact truck and was looking at those same wheels, but the 20's. I wanted a wheel that was close to the sport look and I thought those were. They look good. How does that wheel/tire combo compare to the stock 20 setup as far as overall size is concerned?

The over all diameter is just .18" shorter than the stock 20" tires. This was the main reason I went with the tire/ wheel combo. I wanted something that wasn't to busy or extreme but yet not stock.

Thumbs up

I had Kumhos on one of my older trucks and got about 30,000 miles on that set of tires, which is really good for me. But in the last 5,000 miles those Kumhos get really noisy.

On another note that's a great looking wheel and tire combo on your truck - it really compliments it.

Very nice. I'm going to buy Michelin tires next time. Simply because I've never had any and I want to try them out.

If the wheels didn't have those little bolt things around the barrel, it'd look way better, but they still look nice.
