Great Picture. What wheels and tires did you get?

I like the wheels. But, like the view better. Where is that?
Did you trade the factory wheels? My Hummer dealer gives no trade in. Even on a new purchase.

Thanks Guys. That picture is in my driveway actually.

They are 17 inch wheels with 36 inch BFG's. Bought it from the dealer with these wheels. Here is a closeup:

The close up looks even better.

Reminds me of my "worked for"
Keystone classics back in 1972.

Is that a chrome step rail or steel?

Yep! Chrome step....

Now it's time to mod the heck out of it!

I have to say those are the best looking wheels and tires on the H2 I've seen yet. Any idea what the retail price is on both? Very sweet.

How do you like the KM's on the street? Do you find that they are very noisy?

Nice looking Hummer too, btw.

You ought to call it "Bad in Black" lol.

Gotta get those tires dirty though.

they are a little noisy but the looks far outweight the noise! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

WOW 5200.00!!!!

Looks great but I believe your dealer gave you the shaft. I found those exact same rims online for 299.00 each and I'm guessing the rubber goes for around 200.00 each. Did the dealer at least let you keep the original rims and tires? If not, then post the dealers name so nobody goes there!

It does look sweet, just hurts me a little when the dealer gets the best of someone.

I love those wheels! But I think the side steps are incongruent with the nice mud terrain tires.

Yeah, I agree. The chrome sidesteps don't go, they take away from the vehicle because the eyes are drawn to them and not the rest of the truck.

If side steps are a must, the black ones would look better, IMHO.

Great looking ride! Wish mine still looked that clean.

I have to agree that those are the best looking wheel/tire combo I've seen on H2 yet!

Let me begin by saying that this H2 looks beautiful. Now don't let what I'm about to say confuse you, I don't want my H2 to be beautiful. I want it to be ugly, unstoppable and strike fear into the hearts of other drivers. I may be old fashioned but I don't like the chrome rim look. I mean, I don't remember seeing Humvees rolling through the streets of Kuwait sporting chrome rims flashing their bling bling. Carrerarod, I must give you credit, at least they aren't 24s or something stupid. If the new H2 came with flat tan CARC paint and black steel rims, I would love it even more. I know its a civilian vehicle. Personally when my H2 finally arrives its gonna be out with all the chrome and in with the black. I want it to look as mean and purposeful as it is. Different strokes.

I will be awaiting your photos. I defend your right to go mean and BLACK. I am sure it will be ugly. Some have been there, and do not desire to return. AL

Dr. B, sounds badass. I can't wait to see the pics. I agree with you. I think olive drab should be a color option for the H2, along with steel wheels.

I'm up for olive drab for H2 #2. cool wheels, cool tires!

I'm with you Dr. B - at least as far as the chrome. My wheels are going to be black. I haven't decided on the grill yet - it will either be black or red to match the truck. That should about complete my chrome removal! When I picked up my truck, they tried to sell me on getting the wheels dipped in chrome - no way - I told them I planned to have mud on mine pretty quickly.

Thanks for all the feedback! I did make a mistake....I paid much less for the wheel package. My mistake...Anyways, here are my latest toys:

Is that a Z06?

I hate you.

I'd sell my firstborn for a Z06.

And holy crap man, that H2 makes the Avalanche look TINY.

Lil Devil
02-18-2003, 03:19 AM
actually it's not a Z06....I wanted something faster. It's 2002 with a head & cam job with the new Vortech blower in it. Custom PCM work, Vortex intake, RK Sport LT headers and a few other things.

dyno has it at 585 RWHP.....
