I ditched the idea of getting another set of heavy 24’s with crappy tires for a more performing set up. I searched for months for a 20” wheel to clear the big c6 brakes as well as something wide enough for a good amount of rubber contact at all four corners. All with out going for full custom forged multi-piece $4k plus wheels.

Here are the 20x9.5” +15mm Cosmis XT-005’s covered in Nitto 555-G2’s 295/40/20.

Those wheels and tires really fit the attitude of your build. That little extra meet on the sidewalk looks so much more aggressive than a larger wheel can give you!

can you weight one of those wheel/tire combo. My 20 gmc reps and 285 50 20s are close to 90lbs a piece.

Those wheels look great. Nice alternative to the stock SS wheels.

Is this a new fitment for them? I can't find a pic of another truck with these wheels on it.

Thanks Bud, I don’t know if these are a new style for their line but I liked the style of their silver lip w/ black face, I just wanted all black. So I called Cosmis USA and the rep I spoke with had these all black with machined edges on his Tahoe. He sent me a pic of them on his truck and were these. They don’t look anything like the ones on their website.

I ordered through Custom Offsets online. Very good pricing on the wheels and tires. In fact, they had the lowest price on the nt555-g2’s in this size $722.

I really like those wheels. I am looking for something similar for mine. Did you get a decent deal on them?
