I don't like rivets on performance cars too much, but on the full size trucks they look really good.
EDIT: I just realized 2 out of my last 3 posts I was complimenting wheels with rivets then I say this. I just dont care for C5/6 ZO6 motorsports rivets.
Does the truck drive much different? Seem slower or anything?
-John When I went from stock 16" wheels with 265/75's to 20" with 275/50's on my Tahoe I could tell a difference in acceleration and braking. But after a few days I was acclimated and even though it WAS different I couldn't notice. I imagine the jump from stock 18's or whatever was on there to 24's is comparable.

Factory wheels were 22", so it doesn't feel much different at all compared to the 24" wheels now. Ride quality is still smooth, which is why I didn't go with 26" wheels. Plus, I want to still retain towing capability without pinching a short sidewall tire on a bump.
