Thanks guys. About 12 hours of work in it. Once a year I pull the wheels off scrub them down and rotate them. Scrubbed the wheel wells down and brake calipers and such while the the wheels were off. Its amazing how much brake dust winds up on the back side of the wheels and builds up in the rotors and calipers. Swear it even stops better after cleaning them. Detailed the engine bay. Complete interior go over. Even took a scrub brush to a lot of the underside. Put a coat of wax on it a couple weeks ago.

i wish i had that much patients. i get tired of cleaning it because ext cabs are so damn big i dont have the energy to even touch the interior much less put a wax on it. if i do the interior it has to be the next day or so.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the 18" Torq Thrust ST wheels are not being made anymore. You can only buy the 20's now. Clean truck BTW. I would consider keeping the stock 16's. It really keeps the sleeper look.

In general you don't see either size much anymore anywhere. Ebay.etc... Summit still lists the 18". I want to go bigger brakes someday. Dictates larger wheels. Just found a set of 20" Tahoe wheels on ebay. They look pretty good.

Looks great. After seeing what a set of wheels did to BudHayes truck, I say go for it. Check his thread and I'm sure you'll want wheels after that. IMO, Torque Thrusts look great on ANYTHING.

Wheels do make or break any truck. The Gibbs wheels did look sweet on Bud's. Major improvement IMO. I agree the Torq Thrusts look great on anything. Arguable the "Classic" wheel.
