Default WTB: Police Tahoe Wheels

I know this is a far shot but I always wanted a set of clean OE police tahoe wheels with the proper center caps. See below pic for exactly what I'm looking for. PM me if you know of a set and how much they are. I could always buy 4 spare wheels from different members I suppose

I have 4 plain silver wheels that have been painted black. I painted them flat black on the front, and gloss black in the back. I got lots of compliments on them, and I never even ran the center caps that I painted black to match.

They are currently just sitting under my deck. Your welcome to them if you wanna pay the shipping.

I ended up just picking up 4 spares that I plan to run in the winter... they got a little surface rust but for me they are fine. I am sure those wheels are just spares w/o chrome or silver paint.


If your looking for a set of spares pm Mater, he might have a set

They do but I'm not diggin the powdercoat. It got some chemical or hard water stains on that for the life of me I cannot clean. I've even used chrome and metal polish on the "spots" and they wont come off. I Don't want to have them re-powdercoated since the place is just going to go over the top of the current powdercoat. I'm afraid it'll look shitty. It'd just be nice to start over again from scratch. I don't want to waste money on a mothers powerball to find out it doesn't work

Here are pics of said truck in question. Maybe I'll scratch the black wheel idea. What looks better, the sleeper factory look or the black wheels?


Pics when the truck was 1 year old, already removed door mouldings, silverado SS tip, michelin tires and bug sheild were the only mods

As it sits today with mods in sig and stained spotty black wheels. Can you guys use a powerball on powdercoat? Would it make the coating foggy?

I like the second pic with the black rims with white letter tires. Makes it seem like 60's-70's muscle car, real stock looking, 5 speed, and plenty of power.
