Just picked these up today. went from u2 55s 24s, to menzari z09 22s

wasnt what i pictured it looking like...i like the size just not really the rim..


guess its to late for that now tho. anyways here is before and after.

planning on taking this lowering kit off and putting on a 3/5.5 kit.

The new rims are nice ... it may be that the reason you're having a hard time getting used to them is that 22s with a lip tend to look smaller to the eye. For example I think that chrome tbss rims would look beautiful on your truck. :waytogo:

Not hating or anything but I'm a big fan of the U2 55 wheels. I would have kept those :(

i do agree. They are my fav. and probobly always will be, but i live in a small town and already have 5 sets of them ridding around. Wanted to do something different....in someways i regret it..going from 24s to 22s and a different style rim...to much at one time..

but when im done with the truck i will be happier.. 3/5.5 drop, all new front end, boosted 6.0...

the longer i look at them the more they are growing on me.
