Default New wheels. Give me your opinion.

I have been wanting wheels since the day I pulled my Tahoe off the lot. I just couldn't afford them. I finally can swing them and I have 3 high tread tires so that saves a ton of money too! It is lowered 3/5 so a street wheel for sure!
Here is the truck.

I have narrowed it down to two wheels I have availible to me. The one I really want is

Only down side to this one it is $250 more for the set of 4. It also weighs 2 lbs more(not a big deal).
Another wheel I have had my eye on for a long time is

This I think is a good looking wheel but it will cost me less. The other problem with this wheel is I have seen a set of them in town. I have only seen it once so hopefully the person was from out of town but I hate seeing my wheels on another truck if I am going to spend $1000 bucks!

Do you like the 726 or the 725 better? Normaly I wouldn't bat an eye at the extra $250 but I am trying very hard to spend money the best I can. I think the 725 is still a good looking wheel and like the idea of saving cash!

You guys aren't helping me save any money. I am tottaly with you guys though!

Hopefully I can get $400-$500 out of my stock wheels and tires. That will make the 726 much easier to afford.

P.S. If anyone is interested they are for sale. I havn't started a thread but I will. They are in 90% shape. Tires have 75% tread. No big scratches or scrapes. Only damage is tiny bit of corrosion from wheel weights. PM me if you are interested. I also live in NW Ohio.

You should buy blocks of aluminum and carve out your own wheels!


J/k man. I like the first ones better.

The wheels you have on there right now are the ones I want but wouldn't be justifiable to have them shipped to Texas. IF I had to choose between those 2 then I would also go with the 726's.
