Honestly, I want your opinion of my Sub wheels
I am curious what everyone thinks of my wheels. Hope no one thinks they're TOO cheesy.

Re: Honestly, I want your opinion of my Sub wheels
Is that American, Chedder or Swiss???? Just pulling your leg. I like those a lot better than the stock Silverado wheels. I like that there's no center cap over the lug nuts. They also have a German Mag kind of look. I also think that sometimes retro can be cool.
Now with that being said, the only person who has to like your wheels is you (and your significant other). Although I'm more partial to these:
I guess you can say that a lot of us are always looking for a way to raise the "kwel factor". But honestly you've got a great ride and if you ever see the next set of wheels (which can happen to any of us)...you'll... well.. you know!!!

I noticed that the truck had Tahoe style wheels on it, but didn't realize that they weren't the wheels that could have come on it normally. I like 'em on there though.

Re: Honestly, I want your opinion of my Sub wheels
I think they look stupid.  Haha, just kiddin my man, I think they're cool, very uncommon. I think they'd be super bad ass with a fatter tire.

I think they look good, they keep a nice flowing look to the truck.

As RollingBones said, it's ultimately up to whether you like them. I like them because you don't see hardly anyone with them, but I don't from the stand point that it's not my style. I say leave them until you're ready for some aftermarket wheels.

Re: Honestly, I want your opinion of my Sub wheels
I personally dont like them too much, either on a silverado or a tahoe. I dont know what is is about them....they just dont appeal to me. But in the end its all up to you and what looks good to you. You definetly have the only silverado I have seen them on though.

Re: Honestly, I want your opinion of my Sub wheels
You make that "Back In High School" sound like a couple of decades ago when the Sub was a box with wheels..... How old are you????
Just having fun!!!

We have suburbans at work and I've often thought of what the wheels would look like on my truck. Now I know. I was right. I like it! Maybe I'll bring one of the Suburbans home and do a quick swap!
