Just my $.02 but if class is the goal I think an all-silver wheel will fit the bill better than a black/silver one. I love the wheels you chose, very sporty, but class isn’t the first thing that comes to mind.
George I do not mean to offend you but I do think you are very picky. Nothing wrong with that, because I do know you are paying big money for these wheels/tires and you should be happy with what you bought. I am VERY impressed with the shop you are using and I think they should get a rave...
$11k is way too much. A truck with that mileage is only is worth about $6-7k. I bought mine 2 years ago with 150k miles for $9k, though it doesn't sound as well cared for as yours.
Nothing wrong with a high-mileage GM truck; they're cheap and easy to repair and can go a long time! As long as its not your only vehicle I think it's a go, but I agree with not paying much.
George for what it's worth I have the green one and the hue is entirely different (it's a very bright green) from the dash - it still looks aftermarket!
The fronts have about 25k miles one them and probably another 5k left in them (truck has 170k miles). Rears have about 35k miles on them and are also pretty worn. I do not know who makes them (the truck came with them) but they are damn rusty. Honestly I am NOT happy with their performance, I...
I'll be coming up on front rotors/pad soon, with the rears not far behind. I don't tow very much, but I can really feel my 22"s when braking (I need something with a little more bite).
Here's what I'm looking for:
- Good bite (I don't care about dust)
- Long lasting
- Rust protection

I noticed my lower control arm bushings and ball joints are in great condition. Unfortunately the upper arm bushings and joints look original, as does the tie-rod end. One of the upper control arm ball joints has a small tear in it as well.
So I ordered (all Moog):

Hi all,
So my Tahoe has 170k miles and has had 3 owners (it has lived well!). Even with new wheels/tires that were Hunter Road Force balanced I have a slight vibration over 70mph that is driving me nuts. It's nothing terrible, but I drive at that speed for 60+ miles a day so it wears on me...
Thank you both for your replies. I have been feeling it since I bought the truck 2 years ago. I chalked it up to poorly balanced wheels/tires; I just got new ones and it is 95% better (almost gone, but not quite).
It is a faint vibration in the steering wheel. I will try cleaning up the hubs...
So my Tahoe has a vibration at 70+mph. My new wheels/tires were just Road Force balanced so I'm hesitant to believe they're the issue (plus the vibrate WAY less than my old wheels/tires). I have records that my lower ball joints were replaced 50k miles ago. are there any other high-wear ball...
The shifting is very smooth. :D It used to buck a little bit going into gear, and that is noticeably better now. My mechanic (who I trust very much though he's a Toyota/Honda specialist!) says he only runs the flush at 10psi which is about 1/3 of what the factory pump runs at - he said this...
New rims and tires mounted. Of note, OE Wheels is loaning me a TPMS tool and their expert is going to troubleshoot the new TPMS sensor issues with me... pretty cool! Hoping it works so I don't have to replace them.
Don't tell me that! I went with Titan brand because that's what the wheel/tire shop had in-stock. The reviews for them online are great, but so much for that.
Titan brand. I have one of those generic TPMS learning tools but it's only recognizing 2 of the sensors. I'll give the old "air out of the tire" method a try tomorrow and hoping that works. I just hate that method due to the need to air up the tires again.
22" CK375s / Michelin Defenders got put on today (excuse the filthy Hoe). I was debating taking off the side molding, but I don't think it would look right at stock height. Now if only I could get these TPMS to learn :-/
