Yup yup, that's what I thought as well ...

I did call them to inquire whether or not they will do the same deal on the rims I posted in my first post. It turns out they're a chevy dealer in the Myrtle Beach area, but the guy in charge of internet sales was off today so I will speak to him on Monday. Hopefully they'll do it as per their ebay listing, if not I think I can live with these CK975 wheels. Although I have to say my first choice ones are also sweet.

Cheers!

 

[THE YETI]

either one will certainly fit the bill!

Good choices.

Wow...this thread makes me really glad I don't have a Hybrid....I just wanna be able to do what I wanna do and not have to worry about all this stuff and whether or not it'll mess up 2 mode eletric yada, yada, yada....

And another thing!

Looksie what I just found:

Not bad ... I might just give this guy a call. http://blog.kw-suspension.com/archives/831

Here is a Hybrid Tahoe on 24's. Maybe it is just fine to run bigger but then again don't quote me as I know nothing about Hybrids.

Ooooo0 ... those are very nice indeed!!! I wonder what brand and size they are?

The thing is, I suspect Ludacris doesn't care about his warranteh ...

My truck was delivered 13 months ago and only has 14k so I have a lot of warranty left ... also I don't make rapper money.

What Ludacris has money???

Those are Asanti's, 3pc wheels. They are typically 24x10.

Haha....I am sure Ludacris could give a rats ass about warranty, same with the white one on Giovannas.......

I am all about a hybrid but you can get the same fuel savings by modding the engine. You really want to bump up the MPG's, drop $5K on a super charger. I think JK was getting like 20 in the city after he put his on. The more horsepower your engine has the less percentage it has to use, ie less fuel, to operate in under normal driving condition. So if you don't stop the pedal every time you take off because you have an SC you'll get better gas milage......the key is to drive responsibly with all the mods. What I don't get is why I can match the hybrid MPG's in my 04' with a few mods, the hybrid should be blowing everyone's number out of the water....

Yes but a supercharger is like $4k. It'd take a long time just to break even on that mod if you're doing it just for mpg! With that said, still a cool mod
