I love both but as you can tell I like the 916. One of my best friends has the 375's on his Denali truck and it looks really good so you really can't go wrong with either... of course it's obvious i'm partial to the 916's

Thanks for all the input guys but just as thought my Fembot (wife) and Minnie me (daughter) wanted to see them on the truck this morning and they really want to just keep the 916s. Two women against 1 man guess who won:boxed:

Im waiting on a couple things to come in so I can install them. Mainly the tires and rear springs. I will put the keys on in the a day or two. Do you have to Change the factory bump stops in the front when putting on 2in lowering keys.

That will still look great man so really you can't truly lose :) At least they didn't force you put on some gay sunflower shaped rim or something.... :D

Got the wheels on

I just put the wheels on about 30 min ago. Its getting dark and my cell phone camera is crappy. The picture does not give an accurate view of the truck to me, it looks better in person. Still gotta clean it up and get a ding in the door fixed but here is the rough draft:

:drool: That is absolutely beautiful!! The more I see these rims the more I think about getting these rather than the LTZ's I've been thinking about...

Wow it looks great! Love the ride! What tires/size tires did you end up going with? I think you made the right choice.

I had the LTZ 20s and they don't even compare to these IMO... especially if you have any sort of chrome trim on your car!

285/45/22..Its roughly the same diameter as the 17 inch tires that came off. You would thing that the 22's would ride worse that the 17's but to me it feels better. It feels more stable more controllable. I did loose a little bit of accelaration but that's ok. I'm not racing the truck:)

To me the wheels kind of resemble the factory 20 that came out in 05-06, just bigger. Makes it look like it came that way.:cheers:
