Always like the stockers. 20"'s have become to Soccer-Momish. I'd much rather roll the stockers and drop it a bit more and a little lower profile tire anyday.

But even the way you have it set up looks nice.

Looks better....good decision. I've been rolling on my stockers ever since I bought my truck. Many people have told me that I NEED 20's+. I won't do it because of the increased stress on my suspension and brakes. 20's also decrease your mileage and ride quality. They are too over played now. It seems like EVERYONE has 20's on their truck or SUV today. Not everyone has a clean truck on stockers however.

I dunno it looks good but rims set a truck off....depending what kind you have. If you have the same cookie cutter wheels everyone else does I would agree with what everyone else says about 20's being over player. I really haven't noticed much of a ride quality or gas mileage issue with mine (long trips I get the same if not better), my truck rides very smooth. I run the 285/50 tire so maybe the taller/wider tire might have something to do with it. I think a truck thats kept clean with a nice set of wheels 17-22" looks killer.

what in the world are you talking about? every truck comes straight from the factory/dealership, clean with stockers

you'll get more looks and complements with 20s than some 14inch stocks

Of course, it's all about personal preference when it comes to wheels but I recently put on some '07 Denali take-offs (18") that made a huge difference in the looks of my truck for about $750 (with tires).

Pretty much all the Denalis around here have 20" wheels so mine are relatively unique, but still factory.

Yes, every vehicle rolls off the assembly line clean and stock. However, it takes effort and dedication (sometimes) to maintain a clean ride. Most people who roll their stockers don't care about their vehicle's appearance and don't want to dump money into their ride. I see alot of factory wheels covered with brake dust and damaged with curb rashes because of this. All I'm saying is it's refreshing to see a clean, factory ride. Sometimes simplicity is better...
Sorry, I don't want to start an arguement. We all have personal preferences.

yea man, I'm not trying to argue. I'm just saying, you can't say nobody has clean, stock wheels, cause pretty much everybody does
