Supercharged, nice choice on the Asantis! You and/or your wife have good taste. I bet she really turns heads running the kiddos around! I really appreciate the info.

Modded, love the new pic. Are those black bowties? I just ordered some- they are from AllSale (or something like that) recommended by a friend. I'm going to attempt to install them myself without screwing anything up...I think they really add to the look of a black 'hoe. Did you do yours yourself, if so was it difficult to do?

BOSS- I will definitely check that out. I want to make sure I have all of my info straight so I can have a great end result.

On another note, I removed the FlexFuel decal from the back of my truck today and the 2 GM decals from the sides near the front doors, beside the TAHOE logo. Used Goo Gone and a rubber spatula, then a 3M eraser wheel on a cheapo Black & Decker cordless drill and it came out great. Then dropped her off for a full detail and wax. Great way to start the week!

Yeah MissCB25 I have a black/grey bowtie I made to have the first letter of my name facing sideways, so it looks like a "Z" but is really an "N".
Its painted, was real easy to do, and I put like 5 coats of clear coat on it so it does not chip.

Christina,
20's are the new 13's nowadays. I ride 24's with Yokohama Parada 295/35/24s and a 3/5 drop and it rides great, difference from stock is minor. Well worth the sacrifice IMO. Mileage was not an issue with me eitther and I don't think the difference was noticeable at all.. 24's on your truck will look really good and I think you'll sacrifice more if you were to go any bigger.. Good luck with your choice and post up pics when you do..

Christina, Your really are not going to notice to much.. I have had 24's on basically since I owned the car. Only time it got ruff was when I lowered it but still not to bad with it lowered.

Well today I shopped around a little- I'm looking at getting 24" KMC Slides with Nitto 305/35/24 tires. Haven't made a final decision yet- my other option is, a buddy of mine is selling a set of Empires that he's had for a year, he's upgrading to 26's. I'm going to check them out tomorrow and if they're in good condition I'm going to buy his, work on some other mods on the truch until Christmastime, and then go all out and get the best of the best. Kind of like my "test 24's."

We'll see how the rims look tomorrow! I'll let y'all know. You guys have made me feel really confident that 24's are the only way to go...and then up from there :)

agreed. I'd go with a nice classy set of Asanti's or Giovanna/Gianelle.

Yeah I actually was talking to a friend of mine about it, and he said they're really common. Now I'm looking at Lexanis, Asantis, and more high-end brands. Now to talk my husband into it...

Whatever you go with, go with some that are simple and easy to clean with not tight crevices where dust will find it's way into and it'l be a PITA to clean. I once had a set of wheels that were extremely busy and high maintenance. Took me forever to clean and took the fun right out of driving on them..
