So, I went to go check out these wheels and one had the slightest curb rash, not really even noticeable. They had Bridgestone dueler H/Ls on them, about 65% tread left. The guy told me someone else called him and said they would give him $800 and he said no because I was first in line. So I thanked him for being honest. Then I politely asked him if he would knock off another fifty because of the rash, he thought about it for a moment and said "deal". He helped me load them in my truck and now I am the proud owner of these nnbs 20's.

No nutkicks 07Burb I bought 'em! And thanks to all that replied and helped me make this decision. I'll post pics when I put them on.

Nice deal dude!!! :Handshake: I hope that when the time comes I can get a deal similar. Are these that you got the chrome or polished version? Can't wait to see pics of them on your ride! :High 5:

They are the polished version. I was not aware they came in chrome. I can't wait to get them on either!

Yea the chrome ones are rare. I have seen them on several 2011 Tahoe/Avy LTZ's though.

Nice pick up Chauncey!!!

Thanks a lot man. I don't think I've been this excited since I bought my truck. I'll get some side shots tomorrow.

Nice!!! Huge improvement :waytogo:

For cleaning them I'd send Dtails a PM. He's a detailer with these exact rims and he keeps his cleaner than I've seen any other polished rim. He will hook you up :waytogo:

They look fantastic! Very nice!
To take care of them, treat them like you would your paint. They are clear coated over the polishing so you won't get the metal any shinier. Give them a nice coat of wax every now and again and wash any contaminants off them and they will look great for a long time.
