I just wanted to let everyone know that this is possible, I really don't understand why HUMMER would not sell the chrome wheels with the 33" tires , but if you want the same combination you can do the same that I did: I traded my stock wheels for stock chrome wheels from another H3 owner (H3 Buyer) and I think the 580 mile road trip to Arizona and the extra money for the trade and labor was worth it. Take a look at the pic and let me know what you think, I will try to post better pictures tomorrow.

I would also like to thank "H3 Buyer to be?" (Paul) and his beautiful wife for letting me and my GF go into their house and taking us to luch while we waited for the wheels to be installed, they are really nice people and they took good care of us while we were in Scottsdale, Thank You!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Who installed your marker lights, how many labor hours did it cost?

Thank you very much for saying all those nice things, my wife Lisa was especially flattered. Any time you and Cynthia want to come this way again, please let us know, we have 2 extra bedrooms a pool and I can cook too... We only charge $49.95 a night and $9.95 for the continental breakfast (LOL, only messing).

The wheels make that color pop in my opinion. Especially with the side steps in chrome. I sold mine yesterday, and I was thinking on the way home DOHHHHH why did I do that?

I think I might get the offroad package for the diffrent gearing if I get another. Do you think it makes a difference in pick up at all? Any input on that?

The dealer installed the marker lights and I don't know how many labor hours they took to install it because I was not charged for it, in fact I got them for about 475 + tax installed (they gave me a discount on the accessories because I paid cash for the car) however, they told me that they would not charge anything extra to install them because the price (the one that you see in the HUMMER website) already includes their payment for labor, so they should give you the same price as if you had ordered from the factory.

Hey Paul, thanks for the invitation, you should have said that yesterday! LOL Same here, if you guys want to come down to Baja let me know and I will take you guys to all the right places to go.

I'm very happy with the performance of my H3, maybe because I got the suspension package and I think that helps a little bit, you should have driven mine and see if you could notice a difference (too late for this one too).

Anyway, thanks for everything again, let me know if you go for the H2 SUT (I know you want to)... btw, what are you going to do with the set of wheels that you had ordered? Are you going to sell those as well? do you have any pics?

Must have been the same folks who decided not to include rear marker lights... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
