Default Is this wheel chrome or polished?

Hello everyone! I love this truck's stance and look so much! This is what I am working to make my truck look like. I believe this wheel is a 20" Honeycomb Replica wheel but can't tell if it is chrome or polished, what do y'all think? Also...what size tire do you think that is? I am 99% sure it is a 2/4 drop.

2/4 Drop? 20" Honeycomb Replica Wheel? What size tires?


This is my truck as it sits today. Planning on removing the pinstripes and door molding very soon.

In the picture of the blue truck, the front wheel looks to me more like polished aluminum when I compare it to the chromed front bumper. Better pictures would be better, lol.

I agree! I really love the stance and wheels/tires on this truck. I am about to install a 2/4 Drop on my truck and also put 20'' wheels on it just like these. Do you think chrome or polished will look better? Also, what size tire do you think that is?

Looks like the tire has a decent sidewall bulge, Might be a 285/50/r20.

I'd guess 285/55/20. Those tires look wide if thats on a 9" wide wheel, and 55 just because I think thats a more common size on 20s for pickups.

Those look polished. I'd say go with whatever you prefer. Chrome is a little heavier ( or so I hear. I could only guess maybe a pound or two per wheel), and once it starts to flake it looks like trash. I rarely like chrome though, not sure If I have ever thought chrome wheels look better.

Default Pulled the trigger!

So I pulled the trigger and ordered the 2/4 Drop Kit, 20'' wheels and tires yesterday! The drop kit is from Rough Country and is in the link below. The wheels are 20" OE Replica Sierra Honeycomb style wheels in chrome and the tires are 285/50/20 Nitto NT420V. Everything should deliver and be installed sometime next week! I will post pics after everything is installed!
