I like the TBSS rims. Nice and clean design.

Thanks for the welcome... Sumo those wheels look sweet on your tahoe, just think the esky plat would stand out more on the nali...
Serge photo crop the tbss and the esky plats on your truck. Just put one on the front and the other on the back just so we can see how it looks...

Well the platinum rims I don't have to photoshop as my truck is pretty close from the side to the the esky (minus the window sill chrome, my b pillars are colormatched, and the chrome fender inserts) ... so it'd look a lot like this:
I'm trying to find a good pic of the chrome tbss to photoshop now.

that platinums looks nice!!!
Dang! Now i see why its such a hard choice!! Those plats do look pretty badass! Now i really would like to see the Tbss photo shopped. I still am thinking the Tbss reps, i like a littler sporty look though. The plats sure are classy though, that might be right up your ally serge.

Platinums Just do it! lol
Well I haven't decided yet ... but choosing the plats and getting them are two different things. Oem plat wheels are rare and expensive ... right now the only two sets on ebay have blemishes on them, and that's not going to work for me.

Btw, one of the things that does bother me about the esky wheels is the sea of replicas out there ... they seem to be as popular as the CK375s.
That said i haven't seen any on a GM suv around my neck of the woods.

Thanks man ... 
Well, assuming I can track down a set the decision boils down to this:
Everything on the tbss reps makes it a great aftermarket rim. I love the small center which make the clean lines of the spokes even longer, and I love their almost concave design. I'd have to figure something out to customize the small caps but that's easy enough.
The esky rims are busier and with a larger center, the busier and shorter spokes make the rim look slightly smaller. BUT, they are oem, they are gorgeous, and I have a really neat idea of what to do with the caps.
In short, I'm still undecided.

All valid points---as usual
The TBSS rims have a nice clean look to them and will be very easy to clean up as well....I think a nice set of chrome ones will do the rig justice and not break the bank whereas the Esky plats will cost and arm-maybe a leg too
I hate to say it but the nicest looking wheel for the NNBS is the CK375-its just sad that they are getting overplayed....
Good Luck-maybe today will be the day for a decision.....

Wow the plats do look great. If you are considering chrome wheels go OEM I have yet to find a aftermarket wheel that can outlast the OEM chrome. With the look you are going for I think your choice has been made.

In my opinion I would go for a wheel that nobody has. I don't care if it is a Tahoe, Yukon, or Esky. I don't want to see another SUV that looks like mine and you know GM builds a ton of these. I see the same wheel on a vehicle the same as someone wearing the same shirt as me.
I would rather be the oddball with something different. There are tons of wheels out there. Go with something unique IMO. And $3K is a lot of money for wheels/tires/sensors. My 22" set up would have costed me about $2200 had I ordered online. And even more from the big name tire/wheel local stores. But there is a shop here in Dallas that if you pay cash you get stuff a lot cheaper. If you are in the area I would point you to them.

i think its overplayed in the forums. But in the streets, how many in ones area are rocking the same ck 375? I never seen anyone here in my area with the Tbss other than TBSS.

Not in my area. I see ck375 Everyday. Besides that my neighbor has them on her Yukon Xl, she says she loves the bling. Haha
However I have never seen tbss reps, I would love to see them in person.
