Alright, I was thinking of going with the U2-55's and I went to the store to get a quote, while there one of the guys that works there aproached me and offered to sell me his personal wheels. He's going thru hard times and wants to sacrifice them. He's got a set of DUB Big Homie w/Kumho rubber. I've had a set of these before but not on the Tahoe. He wants $1,900 for the set.

Should I go witth the U2's or go with the DUB's. Keep in mind, the DUB's are a far superior wheel made here in the USA..

These are the DUB's

These are the U2's

The U2's are $2,100 brand new and the Dub's, the guy wants $1,900 and they are roughly 7 moths old, he showed me paperwork, bought in Dec 08.. With the discount he got from the shop he works for he paid $3,478..

I say the Dubs, because Everyone is getting the U2s. Atleast you can rock something a little different and less popular and good quality.

Dubs no question, though the 55s are a dope looking wheel. I like the slides too

I like both the 55's and the Big Homies. I'd have a hard time deciding if it were me. Try posting a poll and see what happens. Don't think you could go wrong no matter what u decide; either set will look good on your truck bro.

Thanks guys, I'm leaning towards the DUB's right about now. I like what I have now but I'm bored with them and I need to make a change, plus I wanted something simpler and not too busy and believe it or not the DUBS are actually lighter not by much but still..

Gonna go make the but later on today. Pics to come..

True. Maybe I wasn't paying much attention but withtin the last 2 weeks I've seen way too many rides with them but still liked their simplicity..

The only reason I like the DUBS less is they look to have some kind of bolt things on the inside edge. Me? I like looks, but I look at something like that and say "Damn, that's gonna be a ***** to really get clean."

I like the look of the spokes better, but if what I'm seeing are bolts, like they're a 2-piece wheel, then I'd turn away for that reason alone. Yup, I'm crazy like that.

I say dubs,don't get me wrong I like the U2's alot but there's nothing worse than seeing 5-6 different people with your wheels every other day.

Looks like you all and I made the right choice. I picked up the Big Homies. Gonna slap 'em on maybe tomorrow or Saturday depending on how ****** hot it is.

I gotta take them to get the TPMS sensors put on and have them roadforce balanced.

Should look really good ( not that your truck wasnt sick already). I also like the simple look. The dubs will look better then the u2's
