good deal. you think the gloss black on silver birch be nice. i looked on the site and saw some.

im thinking a 2-4 drop and lower t bars a little for the raked look and there we go. plus the tires are much shorter so theres some poor mans gearing lol. and the titan wheels should be at least like 20lbs lighter per wheel im thinking which is 80lbs rotating and off the 5080 pounds on empty with no one in it

my buddy bought the rims from me and painted them black, his truck is white so silver shouldn't look much different. it looked good. BTW those titan rims aren't that light at all. you going 5 or 6 spoke?

im going 5 spoke. now its not all for performance enhancement. but im positive there is gonna be a weight difference from chrome ss 20;s with 275-55-20 to 5 spoke 18 inch wheels with 285-50-18 plus the height difference.

and future plan i wanna do is a white ss silverado with black wheels, vents, grills, emblems, and fat muscle stripes on hood only all in matte black... sick right

I think it would look better with the Titan wheels in either factory color that I've seen them in (the silver and the darker color). Not a fan of dark wheels on a light truck. Just my preference.
