Damn wheels really make or brake your vehicle. In your case they made it look way beyond. Those wheels are awesome, and in your truck they look way cool, congrats.

Darn the spelling, I meant "break", lol. Laters The Bandit-Z.

Thanks Bandit, I agree with you on that, Believe me, There were 2 other wheels in the running, I tried to pick a wheel that would look good today and 5 years from now in terms of style. Timeless so to speak. Not sure if I did that, but I think I came close.

Again, my initial inspiration was Yelo's truck with his 20" set up.

Some interesting things I took note of during the install.

1. Whatever brake compound Chevy chose for the HD series trucks this year gives off little to no brake dust.
2. Both front and rear disc brake calipers are large twin piston jobs (powerful!)
3. My front brake rotors are a full 1.5" wide! The rears are 1.125".
4. Make sure to re-torque your lug nuts after a decent drive.
5. Both Calipers are already painted black, so no need to paint them, nice bonus.
6. Front Swaybar is 1 7/16" in diameter as measured by my caliper. I believe Hellwig makes a 1 3/4" replacement
7. These tires are incredibly sticky

That's about all the notes I can recall for now
