Pics of 22.5" Wheels

So I have a 2006 3500 dually and here lately I have been thinking real hard about putting some 22.5" Alcoa's on my truck. I was just curious to see what you guys think about them that have these wheels on your truck, and what they might look like. I was also kind of wandering how much it all was to put these wheels on your truck. Thanks!

From my understanding, they are kinda pricey, but damn they look good.

The 22.5's are the best thing I have ever put on any of my trucks. My rims and tires have perty much payed for themselves becase so far they have saved me 3 sets of factory size tires.

Do you sacrifice anything, like mpg's, hp, suspension parts, etc... by using 22.5's?

I gained a good 1 to 11/2 mpg. I do mostly highway driving.
I added airbags to the rear because with a really heavy load that is where it would rub. 20psi in the air bags and hasen't rubed since.

Really the only negative to me is stopping distance with a heavy load. When I had a exhaust brake on it wasn't a issue. And really it isn't a issue without the exhuast brake as long as your trailer brakes are in good working order.

just curious here, but how is stopping distance affected by the larger wheels? as in, it takes noticeably longer to slow down with the 22½'s? Why?

Wheels and tires are a lot heavier.
