@nytahoe, just a guess, but you like chrome rims? :lol: Ballin'

Guys, quick question....what do you think about this deal:

$250 chrome set of Esky rims that are not in good cosmetic shape but are straight and would be powder coated?

I figure $400 total to get them powder coated black plus approx. $225 a tire mounted and installed puts me at around $1550 total which seems like a decent deal. Plus TPMS I guess. That math seem about right?

I just bought 22s and will be putting them before the end of the week. Switching from the factory 20s on a Denali. I imagine that the ride will not be too compromised as the factory does offer 22s as well, as felixgun stated.

20s started to look a bit too small after browsing this forum for a couple of weeks...

You won't be disappointed. :Handshake:

If I was a blind man and someone switched my rims from factory 20's to factory 22's, I would never know.

I runs 20's with no shame. Do I wish I bought 22's? Sometimes .....yes.

Do it! :mexsmoke:

250 is dirt cheap. But don't you have to get the chrome sandblasted off BEFORE you powder coat? I'm pretty sure that isn't cheap either... just food for thought. It might still be worthwhile since the rims themselves are dirt cheap.

Hopefully as a blind man you wouldn't be driving but hey it's your life.

I will keep my 20's for now. LOL.

Actually had I had 22's......... I KNOW for a FACT, I would have ruined one by now........

I hit a curb at the CLT Airport. :emotions122:

Looking at the marks on the tire afterwards I could see where the rim would be if it was a 22.

Along the lines of the blind comment, if I squint they look like 22's in this picture. :lol2:
