Stronger brakes just because of aftermarket rims?
So you are saying the 20" rims are heavier than say, a couple of bags of concrete? I guess you could just say that if you are also planning to tow with larger rims or carry heavy loads, then maybe you should get heavy duty brakes. Is that what you were implying, or just get stronger rotors because of only what, 60-80 more pounds?

it really would't be too noticeable. if i saw a 15 that looked just like the regular factory rims, i don't think i would notice unless is stared at it for a minute or so.
unless the truck had a window banner that read "rollin' on 15's"
