Looks awesome with the two tone. Perfect rim choice with your color combo IMO

Looks good; I haven't really liked the 6 spoke Torque Thrusts but that looks awesome.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. It really has been a hard choice. It looks better but still needs something. Lowering would look better. Edge molding off or the GMC molding might look better. Someone on another site recommended matching the tint to the wheels. Thats an idea. Anyway plenty of time and part of the fun.

Those are the exact tires, tire size and wheel size I'm gonna get. How do you like everything? Did the ride stiffen up? You said you feel like you lost some power too?

Your truck is lookin good

I like everything so far. The ride is just a little bit stiffer. Don't notice much if any on the highway but can feel it going over curbs and such. Tracks a little different but could be the new tires until the edges get rounded off. I know I lost some acceleration but not that I can really notice. Might be more noticable on a stockish power. I can tell it doesn't stop as well.

I would highly recommend the tires at this point.

That looks worls better than the stockers. Good choice.

I would also recommend an alignment with as close to 0 camber as possible or you run the risk of ruining those tires.
