I really like those rims. Just a nice, clean look. What size are they? Truck looks great.

Thanks T! They're the OEM 20's that came on the TX edition and VMAX trucks. Tires are 275/55/20 (stock).

Considered upgrades:
-Just ordered Belltech 2508 Spindles, new Lower Ball Joints, Moog Offset UCAs, and Tie-Rod ends. Also ordered @tonynoralss rear kit to drop another 1.5". Putting Stock keys back in and decranking a little.

Brief impressions of setup:
Right now the truck rides stiff as hell. But little to no body roll which is a plus. Hopefully when all other upgrades are installed itll ride better and align correctly
