I know the pic does not look like them, but the tire size is correct. It's possible that they didn't have the latest pic for this add and just used the one for the regular BFG Mud Terrains.

yes, the pic is WRONG.

W1N has been looking into this quite a bit.

Yes the picture is not correct. I have a set right beside me and my pc here, and I have to say they are kick ass tires. I would and might http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif post some pics but I still think they will not turn out to be so good, since my wheels are not installed yet. I have the same wheels that 2004 Black ops edition had, in black chrome.

Sorry VT, http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

The tires look like this:

From what I was told at SEMA, not every Joe can get their hands on these (yet). They are still in limited production and conveniently making their way into the hands of people who have vehicles that get a lot of attention. Hopefully they will be distributed widely very soon as they have gotten great response from the tests.

Not correct. I got mine from Discount tire in Ft.Collins, Colorado. Just walked in and ordered them. The only problem is that they seem to be quite popular and they are not in production in large amounts yet. So they might have to look around a bit to get you a set.

You can find them elsewhere too.

Where did you get the rims from? And about how much did they cost?

I found a set from this same guy on eBay: 22" Capella (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/22-HUMMER-H2-WHEELS-RIMS-FORGED-CAPELLAS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43960QQitemZ80 11425587QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) I payed $1300, now he's selling them $999. Reliable guy. damn! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I got the wheels black chromed in California http://www.wheel-repairs.com/
That was like $330 a piece.

So the total for me was about $2600 + shipping. The eBay guy sent the wheels to the chroming shop and they would have sent them to me unless I hadn't picked them up by myself. They look awesome and I'm currently waiting for the chroming shop to send me a set of black chromed oem center caps (they have the HUMMER text on them, Capella wheel center cap does not).

Hope this helps!

I think it was like $530 per tire. That is in Discount Tire. So, the whole package was like $4800, which is not too bad for set 22" off road tires and wheels. I think...

Ouch on the price http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif

What size wheels and back spacing are you putting those out-of-my-league tires on?

Ok, pressure is getting way too hard hold back the pictures. Here is the wheel off the box (I've posted this pic before http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif ). I'll post those crappy pics of the tires later.

Since the tires are 22", I'll be putting 22" wheels as well. Wheels are 22x9,5 Capella's that have 5" backspacing. I'm not so worried about rubbing, but more about cops, since tires will be sticking out about 3/4".
