Move to a place where you don't need winter rims and tires

 

[Young28]

that sucks you have to change out wheels for winter..

 

[Tribalbreak]

i painted my stock denali wheels gloss black and mounted some beafy mud tires on the for the winter... whole new look to the truck

 

[2 E L O]

PC them black and get some AT/MTs...paint probably won't hold up too well in the winter but you could give it a shot... If it doesn't hold up the PC'er will just strip the wheels down anyway...

 

[BlizzardX23]

Thats my goal...I wanna find some winter rims, put some AT/MT tires on it...and be good for the snow

as for the rim color...hmmm...iono....all black would be nice on a red truck!

Buy some stock 20s and good tires for them. I get around fine with my nittos so far, we'll see once the snow hits hard for a few days I may have to buy some blizzaks if I need to pull sleds or something.

 

[Repo503]

Blizzaks are awesome. As for the wheels I'd pc em black or a nice dark grey. With the road salt paint wouldn't last the season. I've always felt sorry for people who live where it doesn't ever snow. I love it.

When I had my Trailblazer SS I picked up some stock 17's for the winter. I put some Yokohama Geolanders on them. It really killed the look of the SS but man could you surprise a ricer or mustang. They would not expect a stock looking Trailblazer to give them a run. I am going to run my 20's on the Tahoe this year and see how they do. The stock Bridgestones have 65,000 on them so I don't know how they will do in the snow.

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

These are all great suggestions and I thank you BUT.... I had just bought new tires for these wheels a few months before I got the 24's so it would be a shame to not run them ($600). Also I dont really have the money to buy some new tires and my dad would be PISSED even more. He was already mad when I bought the 24's...."You just bought a brand new set of tires and then you go off and buy those big wheels and now those other tires are dry rottin in the shed!" but what he doesnt realize is that Im running the sotckers in the winter so that should calm him down a lil bit

and I do want to eventually put some MT tires on there for winter when these tires are done (which would prolly be a while since they will only be run in the winter)

Here's a pic of the tires on the stock rim. Nothin fancy but I thought it looked kinda cool.
and they are 265/75(maybe 70)/15 (cant remember exactly)

and just oooone more thing... Im kinda diggin the black pc idea. If anyone has black powdercoat rims, would you mine please posting a good pic of them? Thanks

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

I know there are some people on here with some good photoshop skills... could anyone paint the rims on that stock pic to be powdercoated black??? I thought of this like 5 minutes after that last post but I had already left my house...

 

[BillBlatt18]

here's just a quick little mock up

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

NIIIIICE! Thats exactly what I was lookin for. I really like that look too.

Thanks a lot nali.

oh yeah and what does everyone else think?

 

[BillBlatt18]

no prob i like that look a lot. it makes a huge difference

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

ok so now that Im interested in this black PC, how much does this usually cost??? Ive never cared for it til now so I have no clue....

and I just came across this on the internet... would this be a problem for me? I mean, it says for cast aluminum wheels and I dont know what these stockers are. (scroll down til you see a red rim)
