There is one here in Edinburg just how you describe it. IMO, it looks awesome.

It'll look nice all you need is the ss bumper cover and the all painted grill to match the bumber. It'll look really nice. Ebay has like a million ss wheels for sale check them out.

I am not sure if it matters to you or not but GM does not recommend 20" wheels for the 1500 CC. Something to do with the frame fracturing over time. Check it out with your dealer or do a search on chevytalk in the 99+ truck forum.

Sorry but it is worthwhile checking it out so that you know what you are getting yourself into.

Glad to hear that they fixed the problem. Now it will just be confusing as to what vehicles are not recommended to have 20" wheels in the 04-05 1500 CC. Well it will save a lot of buyers of current CC from being disappointed at least.

If the frames are really fracturing, they had best recall them and fix the problem. Or they're going to get sued. And they're going to lose. And they're going to deserve to lose.

Plenty of people here are buying trucks with the full expectation of being able to use 20" wheels, and will never receive notice of any kind that there is a problem.

How the (expletive deleted) is someone supposed to know when they go buy a used truck three years from now that it's one of the tiny interval that is incapable of accepting 20" wheels?

when i get to work monday i'll look up the bulletin so i can find the actual date of the trucks. i'm pretty sure it said though if a truck was delivered with the 20" wheels that would have a problem, it said not to worry about it. so maybe its not really a big problem. i don't know. i dont even knopw how putting 20's on a truck would cause the rear of the frame to have a problem.
