These look like NBS Z71 Tahoe Wheels. Am I right? If not, got any pics of these on a vehicle?

Regarding my comments on Escalade wheels, I think they ONLY look good if you do a full Escalade front end conversion. To each his own, though!

There are two GMC 20" wheels (styled like the OP's option 1). One came on the 08 Yukons and were polished. The others come on the NNBS Sierra trucks and are machined, not polished.

IMO, the Polished 20s on the 08 Yukon's FTW!

The ones I posted are polished, right? Are the 'machined' ones the chrome-looking ones...like these?

Machined?

polished ones are correct. The machined ones look polished on the face, but the inside of the spokes are textured.

Chrome-looking ones appear to be chrome plated by a 3rd party company. I've seen a few of those pop up on ebay, but GM never offered a chrome wheel like that.

edit: these are machined, look at the insides of the wheels. they have texture to them.


and full-polished:

Thanks for clearing this up. I think I like the polished ones a lot better. I bet those machined ones hold brake dust badly.
