Default New wheels on the Z71...again

I had 16x8 AR Atlases w/ the stock 265/75s on over the summer...but I got a great deal on a set of '05 chrome Escalade take-offs, so I decided to give them a shot. http://www.imagestation.com/album/in...?id=2116342861

You can also see the '05 tail light swap, tinted front windows, and SOM Avalanche handles. Just have to pick up a set of plain centercaps off Ebay.

Looks good! IMO, I would paint match the front bumper cap, mirrors, flares, tailgate handle, and get an SS tailgate cap.

I plan on colormatching the rest of the truck (cap, mirrors, tailgate handle, flares, etc.) The rims are 17x7.5...not sure on the offset, though. They don't seem like they stick out any farther than the stock 16x7s. I paid $400 for the rims/tires (265/70/17 Goodyears) with 1,500 miles on them.

The wheels look good and the color matching will make a huge difference.
