I don't think so, it feels like that tough rubber that came in all the work trucks. If you want it when this swap is over it's all yours for the cost of shipping. I can get a better pic tomorrow.

and don't maintain high hopes for UPS either; i'm still trying to track down a whole A3 bag of deployment gear that never showed up from Afghaninam.
Why would that go USPS? Don't we have airlift squadrons for that .

That's awful man, never heard of it till I just read up on it. I'm really glad Floridas current administration is taking some of our water pollution issues seriously. Same with our personal freedoms and liberty's as well of course.

This Tahoe vs a 2018 Mercedes C300 sedan bone stock.


Anyone have a guess which would win a heads up race from a dig on the street?

Your current wheel is leather. The rubber one looks like this


No stitching and stuff

It's the same thing.....

So now that I know it's leather-wrapped the price just quadrupled.

What do you mean it's the same thing that wheel I posted is a solid gray with no stitching!

Hell your new wheel is the same as your old one


Also I would say maybe the benz just because it is 2000lbs lighter than you. Something like that at least.

Their both round with two horn symbols and a bowtie so basically same same. Also quadruple of zero is still zero.

As far as the Benz goes, it weighs 3,600# and makes 241flywheel pony power, Tahoe weighs 5,500#ish and makes maybe 450 flywheel horsepowers. Honestly no idea what power it makes but that seems like a safe guess. According to a weight/HP calculator, the Benz does the 1/4 in 14.9 and I do it in 13.9 that gives me a solid second of shift fumbles to stay ahead. I see the Benz on my way home every night and he usually does a ricer flyby, I'd like to catch him at a light and see what happens.

How the eff is Brian Laundrie news up there? If he did steal it Dawgg the boobie hunter will get it back for me.

The retarded driver mod is not removable, the typical symptom is 3rd gear grind.
