I see what you mean Lee... If you do come across a picture, would love to see it! These TBSS rims are the only ones I like if only the gray would match!!

You could always get them and then pay to have them painted to match

Re: GoodInBlack's 2009 Suburban Build.

I haves looked for years.....

Never found one.

Buy them. Have them painted to match later if you don't like the way they look.

How much does a wheel painting average?

Hey I think that looks good!
Because to me it doesn't look like you are trying to Match the color because its so different. I just love those wheels too

It averages looks of chips

Hey J.T.

I think you mean this one?

This is not 16U Greystone. It is a Texas Edition color, but kinda grey.

But you guys can see the mismatch in the paint to the wheels.

I have A LOT of pictures saved. You guys better be careful.

Thank you J.T. for the compliment, I will PM you my email so I can start doing some PhotoShop work for you on the side. HAHAHAHAHA

Damn Lee, you do have a lot of pics in your collection. That IS the one I was referring to. Ha, ha, you're hired.

Question, what do you guys think of 20 inch TBSS's on a 2/3 drop? I love the TBSS rep wheel but can't justify the expense for a set of 22's plus tires.

Re: GoodInBlack's 2009 Suburban Build.

They don't make a 20 inch TBSS in our 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern.

They make a replica TBSS in a 20 with 6 lugs.....but it is the original Trailblazer wheel pattern.

TBSS have a different bolt pattern, even though they are 6 lug.

People have run adapters..... but makes no sense. The added weight, cost, and just having a adapter sucks. So for all that just get 22s.

 

[luckymax]

I was thinking the same about 20" TBSS, but I dont think they make them for tahoes. Just 22" reps.

2/3 is too low for 20s anyway

2/3 is too low for 20s anyway

I'm 2/4 on 20's and think it looks pretty dang good

Exactly right.

It makes a Tahoe look like a Volvo station wagon. No really.....

J.T. I think your trucks sits perfect right now. Just get 22s and you are done.

Jacobs truck looks good because it is a Suburban and has a Sexy Man behind the wheel.

It looks better when he is actually behind the wheel.

Update on the LED tail lights.

CarID wanted me to pay from shipping for a DEFECTIVE product.

I complained and they comp'd the shipping via a prepaid UPS ground label.

Return label said ANZO USA on it, lights sold as CG, and actual product says Eagle Eyes on it.

It is a fact that all three brands are the same, just sold for different prices at different places to poor suckers.

On the other hand..........

Spyder
Depo
RedLines
IPCW

are different brands..... though may still be made at the same factory by different commissions.

So far service at CarID has been below average, will update when I get my refund posted.

Wow that's crazy. Very informative post GiB. I always wondered what was up with those 3 brands.

Lame that they wanted you to pay for shipping! Glad you didn't. That's what I like about amazon, just click on defective and print your return slip and bam no shipping. I'm told eBay seller Revotec has very good customer service too.

Hope you get a new pair soon Lee! Sucks having to wait again.

 

[07Burb]

so it appears Serge's theory was correct on that. Interesting!! Now I feel VERY fortunate that my G4's work without issue I have been tossing around going back to a stock tail but tinted, though

^^STOCK??? Jacob you need some G5s tinted. :handshake:

I would but I'm personally not a fan of the esky appliqués and would have to do that mod for the G5's. I like the smooth lines of my stock appliqués

 

[Goodinblack]

Re: GoodInBlack's 2009 Suburban Build.

Looks like Jacob and I share the same opinion on that subject....

I like the Escalade look, just that the appliques for the TahSubYuk are rounded. If the G5s did not waste my round appliques they would be on already.

Even getting the Escalade appliques is not enough. Then you have to paint them.

I know. It's such an expense to do it.. I want to so bad but 250 for the tails, 210 for appliqués, + paint.. Meh
