Just bought a set of these. Should have them mounted within a week. Now, I've got to decide tire size and what to do about the exposed lug nuts.

I'm probably going to get 275/55/20s to fill the wheel wells.

Are the OEM lug nuts 14mm x 1.5?
If any of you have exposed lug nuts, what covers have you used?

Would these work?

Talking

Got em mounted! Here's a cell phone pic, until I can get it washed up and take some better photos:



For now, I'm running my old black center cap lug nut covers. Thinking about painting them silver to match, but for now I'm very happy.

As an added plus, they feel lighter than my stock 17s. I swear the truck drives like I took weight off, not like I added more.

I appreciate all of the compliments, guys! I think they look awesome. They ride well, too. For those of you considering tires, I got Michelin LTX MS2s and they are freakin awesome. Quietest and best riding tires I've ever had, and they don't crap out on you in corners. I got them in 275/55/20, and they have a 70,000 mile warranty.

Some guy yesterday told me that these wheels resemble TBSS wheels, minus the lug nut covers. I'll take that as a compliment. These actually are a lot shinier than the pictures make them look.
