Love the tread pattern on these :)

Think it looks better than the Alenza for sure.

These are directional however and cannot be rotated side to side unless broken down......

I looked at those as well but ended up getting the Nitto NT421Q's instead-both have a great tread pattern.

The only downside-if any- to the TBSS rims is with so much open space between spokes--bigger brakes would complete the look. Although maybe not a necessity for stopping-just don't wanna see those small rotors. I thought about a set of chrome 22's for mine down the road.....

Oh yes........ I was oogle-ing those really hard today.

They are on my "watch list" on eBay

They are made by OE wheels llc though right?

So only a 1 year finish warranty....

I do remember your post about that..... You had some really good points.

:Handshake:

Main reasons I got these was....... Price...... and the Hankook brand, as I have had great life out of them before.

My current wheels are really bad at this..... thin spokes make it worse.

Definitely go with the Chrome. I can't remember where but I saw a pic of the competition gray on your color tahoe (i think it was) and there was just enough difference in the shade to drive me crazy...they need contrast if you go with that look, I think.

The slight difference in gray, though small..... it is a factor.

Although this is a flat grey....... closest pictures I found.
