WHY??? It draws attention AWAY from the rest of your truck. Kids will stare at the rims and say " oh sick truck dude" If that's what your lookin for, then go for it. I just don't get the whole idea of it.... Besides think of the weight and wear you are gonna put on that hoe...

Let me clarify... You have humongous rims on the beast. You pull up to the stop light and what's the first thing the guy next to you is staring at? It's not your girlfriend or the SS hood or the hours of polishing and waxing you just did. It's the rims. Just saying I personally would like people to admire my truck for the whole package, not just the BLING goin on at the road level that's all. Anyone could buy a new truck and slap on some rims, that requires little or no effort just a deep wallet. And, the weight of that 26" combo is gonna wear out the suspension pretty quick. Okay enough babble

i think some 24x10 polished billets would be sick. to me nothing looks more truckin than a nice set of polished billets. i'm not a fan of chrome. plus if you damage the wheels they can just be polished out. i go back to 10 years ago when 17" billet specialties were the **** on my 94 ECSB. before that is was some 15" boyds lol. right now im rolling 22x12 polished welds. i wanted to stick with the 40" MT's. Once you go bigger the biggest tire is a 38"

I hope I'm not the only one confused by any of his moronic post
I agree with both people....Older generations don't really understand big rims. But you can't say that a person with big rims doesn't take care of their vehicle. I have 20's and wax/wash/detail my truck just as much as the next guy with stock rims and a huge turbo. Rims are a huge upkeep especially for anyone with 20's or bigger (esp. billet wheels). I am more a fan of driving a truck that doesn't break everyday because of all the performance things it has done to it. I appreciate those go fast parts as much as the next person though.
Bottom line I could care less who likes/stares at my truck when I drive down the road. I mod it the way I do because I like it, not to please anyone else.
