either that or he realized the ride on them is aweful such that you wouldn't dare try to sell the truck with them that might need to be test driven... there was a truck around me which had 24's on it, and the shop that put the rims on said it rode so bad it wasn't even funny... (and that was on a softer suspended g500) they had a picture of it on their wall... that's not even accounting for the fact that the steering wheel might shake so bad over bumps it's scary...

btw, they should still look "good" on a g500 if you like big rims... they stick out more than stock which is what most people want anyway with this kind of rim. You could argue the g55 flares stick out too far anyway... so they can use the extra width. I'd put my money down the person who sold them to your brother used the "only for the g55' as a trick to sell them as being even more rare and "exclusive".

This all said, you couldn't pay me enough to mount those rims on my g500... i'd wear 6" high heals myself before i'd put those 24" high heals on my truck... and lets just say i'm not switching teams.

good luck with the sale though, i'm sure someone will like them. But in the famous words of B.A. Baracus from the A-team... "I pitty the foo..." if the buyer doesn't get a return gaurantee if he/she hates the ride feel.
