Default New Rims & Suggestions

Hey guys... I just put some 20's on last night and love them! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Here are the pics...

My truck w/ new rims

They are American Racing Pirranah Silver rims with 285/50/20 GT2 tires. Let me know what ya think bout them!
Also, what other exterior mods do you think would be good on there? I am planning on doing Escalade handles in the near future, but have no idea what else I should do after that. I am open for any suggestions!

Thanks in advance,
-Kurt

Did you noticed any loss in performance with those heavier wheels?

Actually... yes I did, especially from a stop. I already have the 3.42 gears, so the 31.2 inch new tires lowered them even further (3.22 or something?) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . I will get some 4.10's put in this summer when I do the Eaton Posi, so hopefully that will make up for it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hey Kurt! They look gneiss!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Happy to see you found some that work out for ya. I'll come by today when I get out of class to look at them...they look sweet in the pics!

You need to get rid of that white instrument cluster (all the cheapo air bubbles = not cool), and get an escalade one. Also, Escalade door handles inside and out is nice. You should also get some real fog lights, the stock/factory ones. I know you've been wanting to do that for a while.

Good luck with future mods man! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Those wheels look familiar, I seem to recall seeing a set on a local Suburban... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Looks good Kurt.

Tony... you are correct, I stole them the other night <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> , well almost.... those were my boss's rims for about 10,000 miles or so for those who dont know. He gave me a smokin deal on them too! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Matt: Escalade handles will come soon, and I am still on the lookout for some stock fog lights! The Escalade gauges will come sometime in the far future... first I want to get gears/Eaton posi in after Escalade handles.
Looks like I will be mowing a TON more yards to pay for all this! <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> Oh well, it all goes to a good cause <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Thanks guys! Open for any more suggestions too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
