Default New wheels on the tahoe

Got some 17" factory wheels off of Ebay shipped to the house for $530. I think they look better than the old tahoe wheels. Actually after you figure it out they only cost me $130. I sold the old ones for $200 and they needed 2 tires, so that would have been another $200.

They are a little heavier, but the biggest thing is that it takes longer to stop now.

They look good on there. I like the simple smooth surfaces of those wheels.

I like how the late model wheels make the older trucks look like the newer ones. Great buy!
