If i could afford some of these http://centerlinewheels.com/images/w...ge_151x141.jpg

I would have bought them. But i decided to try something different.
SlvrSierra4.8 has me 2nd guessing the 275/55 tires. But i think its going to look alot better with bigger tires and a small drop. Plus i won't have to worry about people having the same wheels based of y'all reaction on here. Welll the 454ss trucks and cop cars have them but not pon this body style.

Oh and Javi i checked out Porsche and the biggest they have are 19's and thats on the GT3. Center locking hub.... f-in sweet!

Either way would still run the 17's or 18's at the track.
18's are sooo hard to find performance tires for. I was looking when i was trying to buy the yukon hybrid wheels. Stupidly high prices.

Those centerline wheels are simple but nice looking, I would rock those.

Haven't researched tires yet for 18's. If they want an arm and a leg for them I might just have to stick to my 17's

I get bored at work alot and start looking things up and researching. 18's are expensive and hard to find.

What size tires do you run on your 17's?

Brutal: Nice new look, can't wait to see it with the 275s and lowered down over 'em. You might want to go park at a tire store and roll out some 275/55s, 275/60s and 275/65s to see how the low aspect sidewall is going to look - before you buy. One tire store might not have all sizes, but worth looking around.

Have two sets of 17's right now. I have the OEM rims and tires and then I have a set of generic 17's I picked up new and thew some used street tires on there for when at the track. Track tires are 275/55/17 I believe... can't remember the height off top my head. I plan on getting some nice drag radials for the track rims next summer.

What did you use to get the glue off the rim? I'm gonna do the same thing to my "chrome" factory rims.

I used a razor blade to get the thick stuff off then an orbital sander with 220grit. My paint guy used a wire wheel.
