I was going to say it's probably just the ABS sensor. I've seen them side by side and see no difference.

Yes it is for rim preference. I can't find a 17 inch rim I like that is the right backspace and width with out it costing $$$$$$.. Seems the 6 lugs are all goofy f^&KN offsets.. I think a 5 lug is plenty strong, howmany pro cars you see that go 19-9-8-7-'s ect on 5 lug, just about all of them.. So far I really like these, can get them in the sizes i want with the right backspacing.

Think these on 17x9.5 out back and 17x8 up front

Yes that is the only thing it could be as I have a few pics of them, they look the same.. I think I will get the 06's and try to switch sensors, if i don't come across some nice used 03's

I have 06 hubs on my truck. They installed exactly the same except there was a little screw in the back of the hub. I believe that was used only in the build process when the truck was originally made. They installed just the same as my old ones with no modification need.

I have a 99 so they should almost for sure fit your 03. I got mine for $150 for both shipped from Nordstroms off a truck with under 300 miles. They looked practically brand new when I got them.

Yep you can get those too. I've bought one for my girlfriend about 2 years ago. It had a napa box and timken stamped on the part itself. It's been great.

I figured I'd just get the factory ones since they seem to work fairly well.
