it could be just me but who in there right mine would want to run this wheel setup especially if you have to pay 65.00 a piece for them.

I like the setup in the first picture but I wouldn't spend that kind of money on center caps

Who in their right mind would wanna spend $2000 on a set of 24" bling rims.......


Everybody has their own ideas. I think the idea is cool looking, expensive, but so are huge rims.

I haven't seen a set on ebay yet. I was hoping that I could get a set there. I figured they'd be expensive from the dealer. Looks like they only came on the "special service tahoe" Still would have to buy lug nuts too.

For those wondering. This is the wheel i'm running. I think the cop center cap is a lot nicer. I know there are a plenty of people who think I'm nuts for running this wheel. I'm not going for bling. I want my truck to look tough and go fast. It's just a steel 16" painted wheel. I went with the 16 for two reasons. I had the tires and I like the style of the 16 better than the 17" steel wheel.



This is what I was running. Very heavy SS wheels.

Great minds think alike....

I went from this:

Truck looks much better than it did with the 20's now that I have the 16's on and much faster.

I never weighed mine to be honest. I can weigh one this spring though after I take my truck out of storage

Looks like we did the same thing. Haha. I don't know how much those wheels weigh but if I had to guess i'd say close to 70lbs each wheel and tire. I had to bust a gut every time I had to take one off. My truck is a good bit faster with the lighter wheels plus I went down in tire diameter which helped too. I love the way my truck looks with the 16's. I have a set of Tahoe aluminum wheels that I use for track wheels. I think they are the lightest factory wheels. I'd just run them all the time but I don't like the way they look.
