I believe he can get it with the correct bolt pattern.

I genuinely appreciate the time and psychological investment my friends on this forum have given my question. I have compiled a list of pros and cons.

PROS:
People might think I have a head injury. Perhaps I will qualify for preferred parking?
The word "nipple" appeared, and I generally have nothing but positive things to say about nipples.
"Cool as a Mullet" will forever resonate as an opportunity to achieve self-actualization for me.
"Subtle, awesome," will instill "envy" in my neighbors. This is the same reason I had my home's gutters gold plated.
It "will attract good-looking women in the 'hood.'" Could there be a better reason...seriously?
Mel used the word "balls" in her response and it provoked a reaction that I favor.

CONS:

Some might think it is an April Fool's joke. I can't live a lie for six months.
I will be the "brunt of jokes." Humor is lost on me, therefore I may develop a complex or eating disorder.
People might think I am an SUV/truck poseur and ridicule me for not having "Truck Nutz."
Any comparison to "the ENVY," who worked so hard to develop his signature style, will only lead to negative feelings between him and I.
My "friends" say no. If you can't take advice from people you've met almost exclusively on the internet, from whom can you?
Going with 24s and "shiny white" is just too tempting. Gunmetal chrome 22s seem to pale in comparison now.

As you can see, the benefits seem to be about equal to the downside, so I will continue to ponder this.

Thank you!

Eh, whether you get the wheels or not - PLEASE get the Truck Nutz!!!!!

BTW, keep in mind the "nipple" they referred to was Tex_Phil's - which kind of takes the fun out of the word IMHO. No offense Phil
