Man go with the Joe Gibbs wheels. Everyone has the SS wheels. Personally I think the Gibbs look a ton better also.

go with some 22 inch replicas, they fill the wheel well up so nicely, or if ur into 20's idk i like mine haha. by the way my rims brand new were $2500, bought them off a friend tires and everything for $240, thats a deal ill take any day of the week. mine are american racing vanguard chrome 20's and i love them. also experienced minor if any power loss due to wheel change. truck stayed same quickness(slowness ha).

How about these? I thought they were only made in 22". I really like these, AND I get to keep my new Nittos!!

Ducky, I didn't do a before/after with just the tires...it was lumped in with other mods.
Gone, but not forgotten!
Those are nice.
