The 17's need to have some bigger tires on them, more of a drop. also the hood orn. has to go. Thats just my op, but to each his own, as long as you like it..

Both sets of wheels are nice...the 20's seem to have fit better, but if you lower the truck or get some different tires, the 17's will look right at home on your ride. I'd definitely loose the hood ornament though

That guy with the black SS runs 11's with 22's , those rims seem to look like they belong on a lifted rig. Hood ornament is IMO, I would debadge that truck in a second. That truck is on the verge of looking ghetto IMO. If you are more into racing you should do a black on red combo, you already have a start. You should powdercoat the rims you have with a 4/6 drop and piant the upper half of your truck red. You should get rid of the chrome handles because they dont flow with your truck. Get color matched or esky handles after you decide to paint your truck. Check this link to get some black corner lamps that match your headlights http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GMC-Y...93951509QQrdZ1. It will make it look 10x better

just so everyone knows, the hood ornament came on the truck when i got it, it hasn't bothered me so i just haven't gotten around to takin it off, but hopefully a cowl is in the near future. and these are rims that would go on a lifted truck, but down here many people put them on 2wd's. and painting the upper half of my truck is going a little too far......and a 4/6 drop is a little much also, i plan on getting a 2/4 sometime soon. my truck is offroad all the time for hunting and such...so i couldn't deal with a 4/6.

dont do this, your truck looks good, that would be stupid, like i said, id just colormatch that strip on the gate and try to find a primer front bumper and get it painted black to match the bottom half

i like the color scheme you got on there

+1 for the cowl hood

as far as the slamming goes, some of these guys dont understand that not everyone can slam there DD, some ppl actually have to take there trucks on dirt roads and **** like that just to get to and from there house
