H3 Buyer to be?
06-23-2005, 10:05 PM
Hello, finally got the wheels. They were supposed to be in last week, and they were shipped and 2 of them were damaged. Then they were supposed to be shipped overnight, and they "forgot" to put them on the truck - LOL!!!

Here they are, and if you are in PHX or close by and you want them, let me know. I would sell the wheels and tires for $2550.00. The tires have 50 miles on them - I do a lot with different wheels and I will go through a few sets before the year is up!

Please be nice with the comments, I think they are a little off road and a little blingy.

No rubbing, and nothing needed to be cut. And the sensors work as well! And one more thing, when I turned in this truck before the wheels, I almost felt like tipping over was a possibility. With these wheels, it seams like that could not happen. Much more aggressive stance too.

Give us an angle, straight on from the front, and straight on from the back so we can get a perspective on how much the tires stick out from the wheel well. Also, what color is the lettering on the tire cover, and is it hard plastic cover, or a material like vinyl or something? Thanks.

I don't like the hard plastic cover, I just bought a soft vinyl one. I wish there was a cover like the SUT with the license plate in the tire.

It is the same as the other post. It is like vinyl around the tire and it is a light plastic where the lettering is. The color is silverish... It is only like $90.00 from http://www.h2parts.com

Here are the pics.

I agree! I bent the crap out of my license plate offroading!

I really like the rims, tires not too sure on. I prefer a bit more tread, but just my 2 cents.

Thanks, that helps. How is the tire cover installed, is it a zipper below or elastic on the back?

I bought mine for $67. I like what you did with your H3, I wasn't thrilled with the lux package, but you made it look good. Mostly by switching those awful tires, with some new one.

honestly i think you should invest in the splash guards too, cuz my rear fenders are getting smacked up a lot with rocks thrown from the front tires since they stick out so much

Please tell me what is the offset of your wheels. Is it the same as the factory one that is +30mm ?

I went with the plus 12 to get a more agressive off road look. Plus the truck is planted now, not more crazy body roll...

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it! I am glad I finally got the wheels, after 2 weeks of "they will be here tomorrow".

The tires feel really good and look awesome too. The factory tires are tooooo narrow I think.

Can I get the fronts only, or do you suggest rears as well?

So tell us how it drives compared to stock?

Better, worse or same?

Faster, slower or same?

Road noise, better, worse or same?

I think it drives better mainly because of the lower amount of roll throught the turns.

I cannot tell you about the faster part, I have driven it only a few miles. But in the few that I drove, I did not think it was any different at all, which is a good thing. I relly thought I was going to be miserable (especially because the HP is an issue for me even without the 20's).

Road noise is the same, no less no more. I hear everything, and I noticed no change...
