Thanks man ... :)

Well, assuming I can track down a set the decision boils down to this:

Everything on the tbss reps makes it a great aftermarket rim. I love the small center which make the clean lines of the spokes even longer, and I love their almost concave design. I'd have to figure something out to customize the small caps but that's easy enough.

The esky rims are busier and with a larger center, the busier and shorter spokes make the rim look slightly smaller. BUT, they are oem, they are gorgeous, and I have a really neat idea of what to do with the caps.

In short, I'm still undecided. :)

All valid points---as usual ;)

The TBSS rims have a nice clean look to them and will be very easy to clean up as well....I think a nice set of chrome ones will do the rig justice and not break the bank whereas the Esky plats will cost and arm-maybe a leg too :D

I hate to say it but the nicest looking wheel for the NNBS is the CK375-its just sad that they are getting overplayed....

Good Luck-maybe today will be the day for a decision.....

SW CT,
Wow the plats do look great. If you are considering chrome wheels go OEM I have yet to find a aftermarket wheel that can outlast the OEM chrome. With the look you are going for I think your choice has been made.

In my opinion I would go for a wheel that nobody has. I don't care if it is a Tahoe, Yukon, or Esky. I don't want to see another SUV that looks like mine and you know GM builds a ton of these. I see the same wheel on a vehicle the same as someone wearing the same shirt as me.
I would rather be the oddball with something different. :) There are tons of wheels out there. Go with something unique IMO. And $3K is a lot of money for wheels/tires/sensors. My 22" set up would have costed me about $2200 had I ordered online. And even more from the big name tire/wheel local stores. But there is a shop here in Dallas that if you pay cash you get stuff a lot cheaper. :D If you are in the area I would point you to them.

i think its overplayed in the forums. But in the streets, how many in ones area are rocking the same ck 375? I never seen anyone here in my area with the Tbss other than TBSS.

Not in my area. I see ck375 Everyday. Besides that my neighbor has them on her Yukon Xl, she says she loves the bling. Haha

However I have never seen tbss reps, I would love to see them in person.
