Yeah 28s are not happening. It's about the style of wheel.

Found this while browsing lol......they are both nice but I like the 375's in your PS for some reason.

@OHSIXX

Yeah man I remember that post. One year later and no decision made. LOL. Always appreciate your input. Look how much got color matched? Haha

Still not sold on the chrome, but not totally ruled out. I could color match or black out the chrome bumpers and roof rack (or remove it) and go with a 22" black rim.

That was actually suggested by someone else as an option. IDK man... I know whatever goes on will look good. That's the toughest choice right now.

No problem bud...you have good taste in mods so I'm sure whatever you choose will look killer. The only thing with black wheels is the size gets lost whereas a chrome/silver/gray wheel won't. If you go with a non chrome wheel then wrap the rack to match your wheel choice. Best of luck...will be standing by :Handshake:

I have always thought people randomly blacking out bumpers on non black vehicles makes them look like a work truck. With the exact amount of chrome you have now a clean chrome wheel would not look blingy at all but should compliment the other chrome pieces. If you're looking for a black wheel just pick the cheapest ones as they all look the same from 10' away and further.

Thx man. Tasteful and clean is what I am after, hence the delayed choice. I didnt' see your comp gray TBSS post until this morning after I posted the PTM post.

I know the black size gets lost with the tires no matter how you slice it. Especially on the dark blue. 285/45/22 will be the choice.

You like comp grey better vs. machine face in the TBSS?

Thx Yates. Appreciate your input. Any favs you think on the chrome side for my truck?

Really depends on what size you're looking for but most of the OEM/Reps look good.

All depends on what you do with those bumpers....I think since you are not a huge fan of chrome I'd say wrap/paint bumpers body color and do Comp Gray. If you leave things as is then machined to blend better.....

Thx for the pics man. Always loved your ride. Hadn't seen your truck in a while and those machine face TBSS look really good.

Ok guys, I've been going back and forth about choosing rims. I think I am ready to pull the trigger on a set of 22's in chrome (slight change of plans from the original post, but that's the fun of building our trucks).

These are the options I keep coming back to for a simple spoke design. All are pretty similar except the ck157 (SEZ) looks a bit more aggressive. Time for some further input from the TYF. Let me hear your thoughts. Thanks.

:hmmm2:


1. DUB Ballers

2. Foose F157 Switch

3. TBSS

4. ck157 (SEZ)

I say finish color matching the chrome and drop some polished or comp grey tbss 22s with 285/40/22s. that would be my #1 vote. next would be some dark tint dub ballers or futures in 22. I just think the nbs suvs look perfect with 22s and nnbs look perfect with 24s

Thx man. You and @OHSIXX both on the same track. Nathan said the same thing with the color match and TBSS.

Makes it freaking harder every time someone chimes in with input.

Number #4....only seen one Sierra around here with them on it....if I get a chance I will snap a pic. Glad you wised up about chrome lol.

Otherwise cant go wrong with the TBSS wheels....my only drawback to them is they will show off our inferior brakes with those gaps between the spokes.....need big brake kit with them IMO.

Take your time....funny I was looking at those SEZ wheels for mine...great minds think alike :Handshake:

Home ownership has put my mods on hold for a bit....could have had a new set of wheels already--instead was water heater,W/D, and now lawn mower...ugh....but I love having my own place!

BBK. You are a funny guy....lol. House and kids already took the BBK chunk.

Never seen SEZs around me and only TBSS on a few Trailblazers. Probably my top favorite choices.

Taking my time of course with this selection. It will look good, just want to make the right choice. Liking the input though. Thanks man.
