Going to try these....

[2 E L O]

I picked up some stock 17" black steelies/Police Tahoe wheels with TPMS sensors and chrome center caps for diiiiiiiiirttttt cheap over the weekend... I'm going to get some 285/70R17 all terrains to mount on them and then throw them on the Tahoe... I need to clean them up and repaint them, and I'll use the stick on weights on the inside of the wheel instead of the weights on the outer lip, too.

I know they're not for everyone but I've been going for the ultimate plain, clean, sleek, utilitarian look for my Tahoe and I think these are going to finish it off nicely. Once I get them mounted up I'll run them for a couple weeks and make sure I like them...then I'll probably sell my OEM Z71 wheels to make some money back...

Thoughts? Am I crazy?

Should look good. I like the tough offroad/tactical look more than the blinged out. What are your other plans to match the wheels?

To be honest, I don't think I'll do much more to the exterior...

I have a little bit of chrome left (trim around the grille and inside the headlight housings) and I'm not going to paint over it or remove it so I might as well embrace it. That's why I thought the chrome center caps would look good.

I'll probably paint the grille and tailgate bowties black...and paint the bowties on the wheel center caps black, too. Then I think I'm about done with the exterior... I already did the leveling kit, debadged, demoulded, removed the running boards, trimmed the front air dam, and put 20% tint over factory tint...

only thing i would do is paint the chevy emblem black on the center of the cap my .02

In my opinion the wheels that you have on there look pretty good with that color. To each his own, but I would stick with the OEMs

Yeah, I think I'll go ahead and paint the center cap bowties and the grille/tailgate bowties black... That should look pretty good.

I do like the Z71 OEMs and I do think they look good as they are right now....but I just want to do something different. I'll try it out for a couple weeks... If I'm still on the fence then I should be able to sell the steelies and new tires and make most--if not all--of my money back since I got such a deal on the wheels/caps/TPMS sensors...

Paint the chrome center cap black to match the wheels and tint your tails and 3rd brake light to tie in some black!

I agree.

The steelies are gonna look good with some aggressive looking tires. Post up some pics when you get them on.

I almost bought a set of tinted tails awhile back but decided I just didn't like them much on the silver birch trucks... I think they look INCREDIBLE on black vehicles but for some reason it just doesn't look right to me on the silver vehicles. I don't think it looks bad, but I just like the red better... I'll keep it in mind after I get the new wheels on, though. Maybe I'll play around with it on Photoshop...

I bought an extra set of the center caps off eBay last night so I might take the four worst ones and mess around with painting them black to match the wheels to see how it looks....but for now I think I'll stick with the chrome Police Tahoe look.

Thanks for all the comments, fellas. Giving me some good ideas!
