A new look for my old truck. Came off a 2019 Tahoe.

Looks nice, but gotta ask.....someone just dumped them in favor of something else, I suppose......so what that cost??

I"m suppose 1500 bux…...:dance::confused5:

Bought Tahoe on the weekend, drove it go the tire store Monday for custom wheels. Less than 200 miles on them. I paid $900 for them, sold my old 18s in a day for $450.

I like it A LOT. :seasix::seasix: Have a friend that did that on a similar truck a few years ago, it actually looks better in person I think!

It is interesting to me that GM still uses similar offset and backspacing on their trucks after
all these years. I guess chassis engineering is low on their list of upgrade priorities. I bet the radios from both vehicles won't interchange!

I have been looking for a similar upgrade for my 99' GMC but no deals round here yet

Nice looking truck. I would have preferred the GMC, but it took me over a year to find a nice regular cab short bed with the 5.3 at a reasonable price. (Would have preferred blue as well). I bought the previous 2014 Silverado 18" wheels off craigslist for $500 4 years ago when I bought the truck and sold them yesterday on Facebook marketplace for $450. Picked up the 20s off Facebook for $900.

That's a good deal depending on the tire OEM :)
Mine has 250K miles on it...….Chevy no longer makes a RCSB, new is a Ford or Dodge. I bought mine new for $21K, replacement is around $30k+, hard for me to justify. Plus I need something to pull my 20K lb load:dance:
I been lookin...……..but my tired 4.8 may just get upgraded with a...…….6.0 stroker :seasix: imagine that:D

Probably the most stolen wheel in America. They look great too.

HMM, Maybe I should look into wheel locks.

Continentals. The same ones I was going to put on the 18 inch wheels. About $850 all in from Discount Tire.
