Very nice truck!
Please tell us more about the 5 lug conversion. There are alot more nice looking wheels with 5 lugs than 6. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: My NEW Red 5.3L GMC Sierra
I bought 2 piece adapters from Motorsport Technology for $575 to me. I only went to adapters after seeing some Z06 wheels on a V6 stepside truck in New Orleans. He said he hasn't had a problem in over a year, even with towing. He gave me a copy of his invoice and I took it from there.

I think I might try and find some 1500HD wheels to put on. I photoshopped a set on the truck and it doesn't look too bad. IMO <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

They way I figured it was the only 6-lug rims I'd have bought were $2k anyways. The cost of the C5 repro's and the adapters cost that much, and I'm much happier with the C5 wheels.
