Now I need to be true to what I love and reverse that thinking. Unless your into stereos and small screens, street trucks get pretty boring quickly. Here are the wheels.

They have an industrial look which I prefered to the bling. Also do you think the 488 are too much. In hind sight would you have gone with them insteed of the 456? Thanks

Wow, did you pick that word correctly... INDUSTRIAL... they have a very industrial, machine, heavy duty look to them... I think they'll look very cool on the truck.

I understand about the wheels. I've got through 3 sets before I finally ended up with these.


As far as the gears, if I were to do it again, I'd would have gone with 4.88's. I can't tell you it will work better but at least the rpm's would be a little higher at any specified speed and therefore allow you to speed up with mashing the shiet out of the gas.

Perhaps it's me. I sold my supercharged vette when I quit driving it cause I loved the H2 so much. Maybe that's why the H2 seems so sluggish, I was just used to it.

I just know that it's hard to maintain 75-80mph on the highway should you come upon any kind of hill. Like I said, perhaps the 4.88's would help.

HTH's,
