Got some aftermarket rims v-tec wizard 17s from ebay $485 shipped. downgraded from the stock 20s (I'm the kinda guy who'd rather have more rubber than rim)

Next comes the exhaust it had a POS flow pro exhaust in place of the stock muffler sounded like a bumble bee trapped in a Tin can. So I got it off then put brand spanking new glass pack y'd out to duals with tips. Sounds great and looks killer too. ($315)

Well fellas I hit a snag today.apparently the tire shop stripped out my lugs on my truck forcing my wheel to completely dismember it self from the truck on Main Street and roll threw traffic at 49 mph had to pay tow truck ($65) new rotor lugs and studs ($100) and then I'm going to have to get me a new rim ($125) but for now I'm runnin my stock 17 off of my 05.

I see what your saying but man you can just feel a smoother ride with 17s compared to 20s and everyone has stock 20s

Finally got the new rotor and studs in. If you ever deside to do it make sure you've got a buddy with you because it's a pain in the ass by yourself. You have to take either a.) the axle out or b.) the entire parking break assembly. But I'm done and it looks better than ever.

Runs way smoother with no more pop or spit following it..

Then of coarse I'm following an old oklahoma backroad in a hurry to get home and bam I get a baby calf.
