Who kept the 17" tires but upgraded wheels?

I'd like to see photos of your wheels.

I contemplating this route to save money but get rid of the boring stock 17" wheels.

I thought these might look good.

No one has just changed their 17's?

I'm kinda digging this look.

why would you? an aftermarket 17" rims has to be uglier than the stock ones, which are bad enough

I agree, it would look way tooo small. Atleast get 20s if its a stock Tahoe.

Cost is the reason. Money isn't exactly falling off trees these days. I could easily swing $500 or so but I don't want to spend $1500 for someones takes offs, or new wheels and tires.

I did on my 2001 NBS. Kept the 245/75/16's and upgraded the rim. Not the best option with the 245, but when I need new tires I will upgrade to a 265/70/16 or something wider...
