Sameless plug...

Well now you have a shameful bid!



I had a set with the aluminum wheels shipped Fedex Air Express Saver for $160 from Utah.



Good luck on selling them on eBay.

SLorenzen, Just wondering, which wheels do you have now on your truck?



Also I notice you say they fit Hummers? Are you sure? I believe the HummerH2 wheels have to be honed out a bit to make them fit our trucks, so in turn the center hole on our wheels would be a little too large to fit a Hummer since they are Hubcentric... although it does have the same bolt pattern.

Do these have the same offset as the 2nd Gen's 16 inch rim?

 

[MMeier]

May be wrong here, but I thought the Rugged Trails were Load range " D" tires .

I have the stockers still. 40,000 miles and going strong. 8/32 left. Im thinking i can get 70-80k out of my BFG rugged t/a.



Ive rotated once. run 65psi up front and 48psi in rear. The rears tend to wear real real flat with the limited slip. The fronts started to scale from braking at 25k when in rotated them... Great tires so far.

OK, so the tires/wheels on e-bay aren't off your truck?

 

[Lorenz]

Nope. There off a buddys truck. But, i am running the same ones. There in the bed of my truck if that counts for anything... ?

 

[PJ]

FYI. That is about the price you can get new truck take off's at the local dealer. That is why I never bothered to upgrade my tires. im just gonna run the rubber off my stockers and then do my upgrade.

211. 00 for a set of 4 with rims? Thats a dang good deal. . If I had the extra $$ for them, Id buy them just to have when my stockers wear out. .

Trust me, they'll go for a lot more than $211. The chromies have been going for $400 - $600 on Ebay. Maybe more with a few shameless plugs I was watching wheels like a hawk on eBay for 2 months trying to snag a set of aluminum wheels with Michelins (Michelins get more $$). 3rd Gen wheels ARE in demand, many are doing like I did. . . put them on the old trucks



I finally gave up and finally scored a set of 40% tread BFGs on '03 aluminum wheels (see Readers Rigs pics) at a local tire shop for $325.

[Lorenz]

Thanks for being kind to me Mr. Moderators! I promise Ive been good up until this point...

 

[Elite1]

Vaughn, Do you currently have both trucks, or did u sell the 03'?

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

The '03 is now gone Elite1, sold it last year to a TDR member in CT. Vaughn

 

[JL penner]

$495 for a set of Michellins at my local dealer with the steel rims... ... 895 for a set of aluminum

 

[Lorenz]

This is the same thing i heard about the Hummer wheels. $100 a piece at the dealer... Heard this on TDR and got real excited...



Fat chance. I called EVERY hummer dealer from here to north of LA, and East to Yuma, Im in san diego. Not one would sell me a set of 4 for less than $900. This is for the non polished older ones. Add $150 a wheel for chrome. Though some of them had one or two wheels only, non set, no tire, that they were happy to wheel and deal on. They get $100+ a wheel/tire from venders who buy them in bulk (40 wheels and tires, or 10 sets) and ship them off to Russia in cargo containers. The Russia story came from a couple LA dealers.



I called the dealer in PA that a TDR member refered me to. yep $100 a piece but he had no sets. 2 wheels and 2 tire/wheels. $100 for the wheels/tires. The parts guy asked if i was "brian again. " sound to me like 1 TDR member had a sweetheart deal with thier local Pensilvanian dealer?





J penner did you happen to score a set of the michelins from your dealer? Im not trying to start a spitn match but the above explains my hesitation in believing the price...

If you want Hummer H2 wheels, try here:

Last time I was there they had at least 20 of the non chrome and about 10 of the chrome. They were asking $80 each, but the price was negotiable. They had some take off H2 tires as well, but not as many.



If you are looking for H1 military double beadlocks with tires, PM me, I know where a couple complete sets are.
