White on White

[PHATBOYPIMP]

I have an White 2006 H2 and I am planning on making some new additions this year the first of those will be wheels and tires.

As a long time reader of this forum, I have utilized the search button but I have a few questions:

Does anyone have any pictures of a white hummer with white wheels?

Now I am not into bling but I would like a larger rim/tire combination than stock. It sounds like 20" wheels with 35" tires is a good combination. I don't want to lose too much power/braking because I tow my Mastercraft nearly every weekend and I need all the power/braking I can get. Is there a wheel/tire combo that will keep me close to the original dimensions but giving me a larger wheel dimension than the stock wheel/tire combo?

This is not a grocery getter, so I would like a more aggressive tire than the BFG's that came stock but not overkill from a noise standpoint.

After reading other posts, I am not sure what to do from a width standpoint. I don't need to go much wider than stock, but I want to make sure I get the right wheel width combined with the right tire width.

I appreciate your help, I want to make sure I do this right the first time.

I have not seen any white wheels that will fit a hummer. That is kinda out of style. Unless you are driving a sport compact. Do you ever plan on going off-road? If so go with an 18 inch wheel. If your a pavement pounder and it sounds like you are I would look at BFG's but I dont know if you can get the new ones with in a 20x35. I hear the Toyo's are pretty good on noise too. I have the 18x37x12.5 BFG KM's they are pretty good but I would say they are a little loud and not so great in the rain as they have no siping. However they wear really good.

We have 20 inch Helio Maxx 8 with Toyo Open Country and they are
20 X 12.5 on the road they are rather quite and offroad they are great.
Like other have said the white look is out and I guess will be hard to find.

I saw a 2007 H2 with white wheels the other day, maybe he had them painted, but I thought it looked pretty good. In your opinion.....What wheel looks best on a white H2? Not a big fan of the black wheels on the white (looks great on nearly every other color) and the chrome is just too much.

From a pavement pounding standpoint, I spend 75% on the road and 25% in the dirt. I have a built 86 CJ that I use for hardcore wheelin, but I really enjoy taking my H2 out in the dirt. Don't think I will ever hit the rubicon or anything, but I expect it to perform well. As newbee, what does an 18" wheel have over a 20" wheel off the road?

Looks like 12.5 width is the most common.

Find the wheels you want, then have them powder coated!

Do you want an all white wheel? I don't think I've ever seen anything like that and it would probably have to be painted. Next best option is wheels with color caps.

Those are the few that I could find on that site. I'm not sure how you feel about chrome, because it seems that almost every wheel with a color matched cap these days comes with the chrome lip..

Thanks SirFer, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for all of your responses.
