looking for new wheels

[yargnits]

thanks guys, i really like gringolocos pic.. Just something about it, the drop and rims maybe.. and color.. .

Me too.

I'd do it only if they can be had for cheap. I'm still mulling over a drop first. I'm finally starting to like this truck.

But the hell with 20, 22, 24 wheels... I think I'm going to go for some 42s for that vintage look!

LOL.. you know i have actually seen some on a car on the web somewhere. It looked kinda cool. Dont know how you would actually drive on it, but very unique none the less.

or this one?



I like how the Hummer has a place to attach a team of horses.

no, just a crappy pic when I was putting them on in the middle of the night.





it has been rainy with a chance of exams since I did it. no chance to get it clean and take pics with my good camera.

there is a good pic of gringolocos dropped Yuk on the web though.

These are the rims I must have... Seen some on e-bay for ~ $1400 with tires shipped. Is this a decent price? I would love to possibly powder-coat them black! I took the badges of the rear of my Yukon. Debadging looks so cool! I'm also considering body colored wheel flares, and removing side mouldings...... Not sure yet... I do like the clean lines...

Mine came with the flares, that's one of the things that prompted me to get the these wheels. The flares make the stock 17" wheels look too small. I like my truck to look like it may have come from the factory with the mods, with not too many "in your face" changes. Gringolocos Yukon has that factory look, but better .
I was considering a drop, but I also want to add dual tailpipes off the stock muffler left and right side to match factory exit and size and I'm not sure there is room with the drop.

that dropped blue yuk looks so $$$$

I just got my Bowtie caps off Ebay $7.99 each. You can't beat this deal

thanks for the link, I had been considering looking for some. Have you seen any 'blank' caps?

I haven't seen any for sale but I think I saw some on a set of machined wheels, someone must be making them.
That Ebay seller's listing isn't accurate the caps are machined not polished and several places it lists them as used, they are new as the text notes, not used as in the terms farther down the listing.
