I will definitely post up pics. It may be a few months because I want to get the new suspension on first. A 3 month old and 2 year old has shown me how little time I truly have nowadays!!
I have been happy with mine. Just a word of caution though, you will need some splined reduced diameter lugs to fit. I also recommend retorqueing after the first drive. I installed mine right before going to an event with minimal drive time and didn't check the lug torque. They got loose on the first run. I thought I had bent one of them. Re-torqued and all was good.
Well I've got 20" Stingrays on the wife's SS, they're in great shape but AFAIK they're the original Stingray design with the smaller holes; they don't look anywhere near the same as my 22's. Hey I'm just aiming to please..

Truck looks great! 20x11 in the rear? Stock width rear axle? I guess you mentioned the tuner style lugs because the Welds have small lug holes? That's good to hear; the smaller the lug hole the less options thieves have for hammering crap onto your locks to pull 'em.
We really should always be re-torquing our aluminum wheels of any brand/construction after the first shakedown run.. glad to hear you lucked out. I've seen more than a few wheels get ruined, fenders/quarters get buckled, etc.

I had the same wheels on my old Tahoe. They are now on my brothers Suburban. I always liked the simple and clean look of them.

That's correct. 20x11 square and a stock width axle. The lug holes are a tight fit with the splined socket. A couple of them drag slightly while tightening the lugs but will self clearance.so not a big deal. The wheels are clear coated so I am just concerned the break in the coating will spread to the face of the wheel over time.

Well crap, I already ordered a set of standard black acorn style lugs. I guess I will have to search for a new set to fit. Thanks for the information on them. I cant wait to get them on the truck.
Do the 9.5 wide wheels have enough backspace to tuck on a 2003 Silverado with a 4-6 drop? I am currently running a 8.5" wide Tahoe wheel with approximately 31mm offset and 5.93" of backspace that fits perfect but I am in the market for new wheels. I would rather not introduce rubbing issues or change the stance of the truck just to have new wheels.
The wheels finally came in after 5 months!! The 4th wheel came the next day, hence not in the pic.
They are getting ceramic coated then I need to get tires. Im really torn between 275/45r20 or 275/50r20. The drop is done on the truck, the current tires are 265/70r17. I dont know if I want to lose a ton of overall height going to the 275/45, it would be almost 2 inches smaller in overall diameter. My scare is it will look way to small. I dont forsee any rubbing issues with a 275/50 and I wont lose as much overall diameter.
