Default Ram air hood and a set of 20's or 22's

I think Ive decided on the East Coast Customs Ram air hood since it also seems to have the cowl. Any one know anything about them?? Do they make a good product?? Fiberglass or Steel??
Im set on a set of Centerlines. Everyone tells me I need 22's, but Ive already got the tires for 20's and they should be quite a bit lighter too right??? There is a guy selling them new for $700 a set. Is that a good price for the 20's?? How much lighter will these be than my KMC 20's??
Other than that Im going to get the bumper cap paint matched.

My centerline 20" wheels are 23 lbs each unmounted. On my 245/40 (small tire) they are 51 lbs mounted and balanced. Centerline 22's aren't much heavier, I want to say in the 29 lb range each.

Chrome Sucks, Go Billet

Tell me about it. The chrome on everything but the outer most spoke things(??) is total ****. I dont know if I could even sell them
What do you think?? Would a Tahoe on 20's lowered 2/3 still look stupid?? Maybe I need a poll???

Why would anything lowered on 20's look stupid?

Can we get a pic of your truck now and the wheels and hood you want?
$700 for new 20" Centerlines? Damn that's cheap! I would get 22's though and not Centerline, none of them look that great to me, but that's just my opinion. Chrome is easy to keep clean too.

Im now leaning towards the Harwood cowl.

The East Coast Customs fiberglass ram air hood is JUNK in my opinion. Looked good from a distance but the fitment was not right. After I sold mine, a few other trucks are running around with it and none seem to fit right.
