Went rim shopping today......

[MACHO]

Black 22's look like 20's......especially with a lip.

Soild black needs 24's IMHO on a NNBS.

24's look SO good, but from the sounds of it, doing it correctly is such a big investment with having to do a BBK and all to make up for the added weight. Plus I hear the ride quality significantly decreases and then there's the rubbing. So many negatives just for looks

My only experience with Oversized rims was with the 22's we had on our Chrysler 300 (traded it in for the Hoe) and even with the Bosch brakes, the lack of stopping power was scary.

Your 20's look bigger than most Lee. Very nice. Good choice of rims...Those are AMP rims?

Thank you MACHO.........

Yes, I was on the fence about wheel size too. I am glad I did 20's overall. If I was doing a black wheel, I would Definitively do a 22.

24's are too impractical in daily situations. You basically have a car tire on a truck with no sidewall. Wheels are really heavy, putting stress on ball joints, tie rods, hub bearings, etc. The brakes fade fast, ride suffers...........list goes on. Looks Darn good though.

My wheels are American Racing AR840's. They are not chrome, but Bright PVD.

I wanted a LIP, but since wheels with a lip look smaller......... and wheels with spokes to the edge tend to look bigger........

I went with this design because this one had BOTH.

Also, it is one of the LIGHTEST wheels I found. My 20's are 31 pounds. I know cause I showed up with a scale on install day.

Another great option is the KMC D2 In Black. 22 inches. A light wheel at 36 pounds or so.... Keep in mind stock LTZ's are 37 pounds for 20's. I think it is a great looking wheel, that has not been done by everyone like the Slides.

Ah yes the AR's. again, great looking rim.

I agree, I like the spokes that go to the edge of the rim bc of the larger look. That's why I love the TBSS.

Thanks bro you are the man. Those d2's look so nice! If they weren't so much I'd prob pull the trigger on them.

@Chevyboy, what do you think of them??? Here's a photo:

I would say D2's in black or TBSS in Grey........

Also, there is always a buyer it seems for the TBSS if you want to sell later, and easy to find a replacement if you ruin one.
