Engineers are always pessimistic (me), so here goes.

The bigger wheel and tire just adds unsprung weight thus over working shocks and springs, throws the suspension geometry off, increase ease of body roll by making the truck 1 inch higher, and makes the L look like a ricer with the expensive wheel and the out of proportioned smaller disk and caliper.

While I've never been a fan of the 01 wheel it does look better chromed, but now attached the heightened disks throw a new monkey wrench into the visual works.

If you like it, then WTF does my opinion count for anyway?

99RedBoltPa,
The wheels look incredible!! The older ones looked great on your truck as well, wish you had those new ones mounted at Cecil so I could have seen them mounted.
