Re: just when you think you seen it all cool stuff

Get the look of 15 inch wheels with none of the ride quality benefits at four times the price!

that's pretty much what I was thinking. You have to be really into the sleeper look if you go this route. They do look very convincing which makes using these even more puzzling. I personally like the built in white wall wheels that Delmo makes which are a 22" scaled up version of stock wheels. I still don't really see the point of the built in whitewall (why not just run a 20" wheel with a white wall tire?) but the wheels are nice.

I think it’s a great idea since you can run a WIDE tire that isn’t made in Wife white walls in 20”. Cool idea but they’re pricey.

That was my exact though. I have 18 inch wheels on my current truck with low profile tires and it feels every little bump in the road.

I don't really see the point...

Only reason I can see is if you wanted to put 14" and larger rotors/brakes on your truck. Pro-touring guys may like them...
