Bet it rides better in terms of comfort with the plain Jane wheels though?

Totally agree. Those replica 22s look great on there. I'm going with 22s on my widebody build as well. All mounted up and ready once the body work is done.

GTS wheels are gorgeous. Did the same on mine and love them, they DO make the truck. Bitch to keep clean though, wheels and calipers. But with it

Thanks no issue for me it gets washed once a week and I always clean the calipers and wheels with quick detailer

They are a PIA to keep clean if you don't tend to them often. I have found that simple green works very well and for stubborn spots you can use a magic eraser.

Couldn't agree more!

While the ride is marginally better, any

18" rims are just a terrible look on these beasts. 22's all the way!
