Default advice on rims and lowering

I don't have any pics of my truck but its a 2007 black silverado, regular cab 4.8 2wd short bed. Completely stock. I wanna throw on some rims, prolly 22, but have no idea what kind to get, unlike camaros i could name almost every kind that would fit. looking for some recommendations. I kinda wanna do it in all black, so maybe some black rims. I also wanna lower it so the back doesn't sit so high. thanks


its basically like this only the front is all black, and its got cheaper, plainer wheels

Boss Motorsports 313's or 330's
black center with a polished lip.
22's or 24's would look good!

well it depends on your budget because the wheel wells are bug so 22's will look like 20's so i would go 22 in front and 24 in da back and slam the hell out of it , 5 7 or 7 9 (i didnt think it was possible but theres one here in houston that low) if u dont wanna spend slot on wheels get the gmc stock 20's that came out in the 07s and trust me it will make a really big difference..

i have 22 inch rims on a 00 silverado rcsb, i dont have a pic but i put 2 inch lowering shackles on the back so it didnt have that raked look, i got my rims off my friend who got 24s, i didnt like the chrome, so i went to a body shop and had them bead blast the chrome of the spokes, ohh by the i forgot to mention that theres a 3 inch lip on the rims so i kept the chrome on the lip and had the spokes and center cap powder coated gloss black.

price isn't rly that big of an issue. but i was hoping to keep the whole truck transformation under around 3 grand. which would be lower, wheels/tires, and window tinting. i will prolly get 22s. 24s are a little to gangsta for me
