Bought the rims...now I just need to afford tires!

I just got my brand new 24 inch MOMO Storm Rims in today from FED EX and they are so sick...I can't bring myself to sell them.....the only problem is tires are another 1400....but Im gonna be patient because I believe I can get them from a buddy of mine with a wholesalers license.........I want the pirelli scorpion zero asmathetic or whatever they are called....I was wondering what people with 24 inch rims suggest as far as tire brand and size.......also I have heard many things about brake system upgrades....any reccommendations?

As far as brake kits, look to Brembo or Baer for a kit, with 24's even these kits will look small. Jesse James said something about guys with huge rims and stock brakes are dummies, so........ They look nicer too, but kits run over 1500 bucks for sure.

Awesome looking rims. Does your ride feel different now? Are you planning on lowering the truck 2" in the rear?

yeah I want to lower the rear two inches...what is the best kit to get for that and how much? my ride hasn't changed for the worse at all...if anything its better now....the only difference is that sometime if the road is rough the tires tend to want to pull different directions....other than that no difference......
