You gonna lift yours? If so, how much?

Mines got a 6" RCX, and decided to go with the Machined Finish Eagle 63 series. They are 18x9 on 35" Toyo M/T

if you want to go with a true all black, get the cragars or ultra gauntlets like mine. I wanted all black and most of the black rims like moto metal have some chrome on them.

Why would u put those cheap ass wheels on a NNBS tahoe. That looks horrible

That's just your opinion:shrug: some thinks it looks good especially for a winter rim :High 5:

Yea I'd love to do 18s but since the stock wheels are 17s already I won't have to put tires on as well....tryin to go the cheaper route lol

Exactly. then again, why would anyone get a 13" lift and put on 35" tires? Looks like a toy truck. why not keep it at a 6" lift?

to each his own...

its simple winter rims, with snow tires. I went with 17s becuase More tire is better for deep snow/traction. Better protection against hidden potholes.
