I cannot tell a difference from the factory 20's in terms of ride quality (it may be better due to better tires). I have noticed that my avg fuel economy as displayed in the DIC has dropped from 13.7 mpg to 13.5 mpg which I attribute a small part of this to the fact that my truck does not know that it has gone farther due to increased OD of the new tires. My speedo says 70 mph when I'm actually traveling about 73-74 according to my GPS NAV system. I feel certain that my performance has taken a small hit due to heavier wheels but I cannot tell by seat of the pants feel. I like the looks much better than my factory 20's and currently very happy with my new wheels and tires

+1 those look great and I agree the polished looks better than chrome.

I want to try and get those rims in 20's in competition grey for my rig, think that would look really good

Thanks, I just plan on leaving it where its at for now. I did buy a 2" level kit for the front but I don't think I'm gonna use it right now. Heard the denali awd system doesn't always react well to the lift. Plus I'm worried it might look jacked up too much.

KickToTheJunk, rolling stock that exceeds factory weight by a significant margin puts the unsprung weight over the limits engineered into the suspension, causing accelerated wear. Harsher impacts due to less sidewall flex plays into this as well. Either keep the wheel/tire combos comparable to factory or upgrade the suspension to handle the weight and strain; you've gotta pay to play.
