I've been a member here for a few weeks, but have never posted pics of the '02 Burb that does family duty for my wife and four kids. Mosty because it was stock and not much compared to the nice rides here.
The original 16" wheels were in poor shape with the clear coat looking rather nasty. I wanted to do something different, and found that Nissan Titan/Armada wheels would work and were dirt cheap on Craigslist. The specs were nearly identical to the factory GM wheels, but I couldn't have the Nissan center cap ruining my ride. :) The Nissan logo pops out of the cap, and with a little filler, primer and paint, they came out really clean, IMO.
I went with an LT275/65r18 tire which measures about 32.3" tall, about 1.5" taller than the original tires.

I think it turned out clean looking, at least far better than before. I'll look for a bowtie emblem to use on the center caps in the future...

edit: hopefully the pics aren't too large.
