I think its just the angle as I based the drop and wheel/tire size off your truck......all the same as yours.

Search JDwheels The wheels were $825 to my door. And the tires I bought local. The wheels are made by centerline but called "streeters" by show wheels.

I figured it would sit fairly close to the same specs as mine but that angle of the shot had my eyes thinking something different.

I love it; awesome choices!

Can we get a close up of the wheel?

Hotrob72 · 03-21-2012, 09:40 AM

The backside is not polished.......

72BlckButy · 04-01-2012, 05:02 PM

Thanks for the pic! Same wheels as gringoloco.

Now sell those old wheels to the 88-98 guys.
They are the rare "Tahoe Limited" wheels.

I really like those wheels, did you have to remove your front inner fender wells with that drop and those 20's or does it rub?

The answer to the question is still the same regardless of when it's asked. It would be different if I was on the classifieds board trying to buy parts from 2 yrs ago.
