i like the new wheels

get the bottom lip on your tailgate painted black so it flows with the rest of the body lines, that would really look good imo

You need some 275/60R17's to wrap the new rims in. I like the rims though.

yea i did mine last week... but only the storm gray... one thing i can tell you is be VERY VERY patient and let the damn thing dry... otherwise youll end up having to paint it down the road again cause you dont like the finger print you put in the middle of the "M" LOL

I like the other ones too, not because they were 20's but just the style, I actually like the size of the 17's on your truck. But as long as you like it...then sweet!!
