I'm not gonna answer that bro.


Brian, you're kill me LOL

Fandango, I always go to Sac. I really hate Infineon and all the rice there. Plus Sac is WAAAAAY closer

As for the door handles. I am having a hard time finding the part #. My color comes up as Storm Grey and they don't show any Yukons or Escalades in that color.

As for he money to do the mod. I sold a house and made a really good profit. Some of the other stuff I already had like the deck. The wheels were only $1200 with tires and the tint was $90 Working at a stereo shop sometimes has advantages when it comes to getting parts cheap with a wholesale account

I'm curious as to why you went with the 20's since speed is a concern. I understand looking is very important. Are you just planning on switching all 4 out for track outings?

The 20s are very light at 23lbs. The 16" Centerlines are only about 18lbs so it's not a huge weight savings. The lightest 16" stock rim/tire combos are 54lbs or so. My 20s with tires are 57lbs.

For racing I will probably leave the 20s on the front since you can't really do skinnies on these trucks well. I am looking into getting a set of 16x10" wheels (maybe the same style) and mounting slicks on those for track days.

There is no hope in hell that I'll hook on the street with anything short of a full slick so I'm not even going to try so I'll just mob the 20s and only play on the freeway or fast rolls. In my area you don't get many real street races without taking huge risks. They are seriously cracking down on it in my area and even the Bay Area is getting bad. It's no longer a simple ticket. Now you're talking vehicle towed, jail time, $2500+ fines, etc etc. Soo with the 20s I'll be less likely to engage in any stoplight to stoplight wars which is usually where you run the most risk.

I thought storm grey was a GMC color ??? Hince the name, but I guess they must of changed that in '02. Usually the chevies have the same colors as gmc's just like a shade or two lighter JMHO...Zed
