Greg, "Bling Bling" is a style of a group of wheels, not the size. You can't tell me those 22" Fikse Forged stars don't look sweet <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

PSJ, I like that nice chrome side strip. It looks good on the GMCs, looks like crap on the Chevys.

No I don't think 22" wheels will look good, maybe 20's. Personally I think 20" wheels are pushing the limits. The only way bigger wheels look good IMO is with a drop. The bigger the wheel the more it needs to drop. I also like at least 5" of side wall.
A 32" o.d. tire and wheel combo on a non dropped truck just doesn't look complete. Hell get a set of those new SR10 Dodge Truck wheels, they are 24" <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> They look like a Fiske 5 star.The new Truckin' show the production model. I know what "Bling Bling" means but it is also slang for to much shhhhiiiiit going on like that interior shot. That's just ????? I can't think of the words to describe that. How about a Bud Light option for weight reduction <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

With a small sidewall like that, you're going to get impact bubbles like CRAZY if you come even CLOSE to any potholes.

Personally, I like 20" rims on a truck or SUV.
I saw a set similar on a Denali in 20" and it looked AWESOME. It still gives you plenty of tire to handle the bumpy roads too.

How about a pic with that side chrome molding removed or painted the color of the body?

What size rims are those?
