Thanks for the replies everyone, I got em on earlier today and they look really good..I'm not going to bust it out of the garage until tomorrow afternoon though and I'll run it without the Hypertech, and with it afterwards to see if I can tell any difference. You guys wouldn't have any suggestions on shift points and all that other good stuff would ya'll?..

shift points +5,+10 and rev limit to 6200. My truck is about .7 slower with my SS wheels in the 1320. But I run my stock 16's at the track and for winter.

I was being a smart ***. I mounted those suckers. Takes all I had to pick them up and put them on the lugs. The stockers I can carry with 1 hand. 24's are crazy heavy. I'm not sure what they weigh but I'd bet close to double stock rims/tires. I'll sacrifice 2/10's of a second during my annual track visit to look pimp all the time.

Maybe more than 2/10's. Hell maybe a full second, I don't really know. I've never run it with the stock tires. In fact the stock tires came off about 2 weeks after I bought it. I went to 22's at first and couldn't feel a SOTP difference and when I went to 24's I couldn't feel it then either. I also stepped up to 4.10's from 3.73 to counteract the rims. If I put the stocks back on I probably wouldn't get any traction.

Did you ever take a 24" wheel and tire and weight them? I'm curious what they weigh compared to my 17" wheel/315 tire stock H2 setup. Mine are 99lbs each.

Never weighed them. I am upgrading the rotors next week, maybe I will roll one onto a scale just for fun.
