Well after going around on this for a while I decided to stop being cheap and just get a set of new wheels, checked Ebay for a while till I found this set for $400 with only 7200 miles on em, drove to Long Island to pick em up and saved a ton on shipping, this winter I will powder coat em black and go with a set of mud terrains, I should be installing my leveling kit this weekend, but as of right now no rubbing except at full lock, I kinda miss my black rims though.

 

I think they look good. I would look at some center caps and maybe have them powdercoated black and see what that looks like. Other than that I think it sets the truck off.

 

Thanks, I was thinkn the same thing about the caps

 

Those look real good, did you have them machined to fit? Was that expensive?

 

hey I know that truck!! looks good man.

 

Wheels look good.... have you called about a quote for the powdercoating, when I first got mine that's what I wanted to do and was quoted a price of around $1200, the guy told me it would be cheaper/easier to just buy black wheels instead.
So, if you get something reasonable maybe I'll take a drive down and we can get a discount for multiple wheels......

keep us posted.

 

i don't really understand the Hummer wheel thing.. just me tho.. i'll stick with my wheels check gallery Definitely get caps tho.. you look too much like a ford with manual hubs does when it doesnt have the caps ;\

 

Many get them because they can be had cheap. Most that get them get a set of new or nearly new 35" BFG A/T for 3-500 bucks.

 

Def need some centercaps though, 3rd gen caps would look great I think. If you want pull mine throw em on to see if you like the look.

 

do the stock H2 rims bolt right up? Will the H2 center caps fit?

 

The center holes need to be enlarged. You can do it yourself with a router or die grinder, or have them CNC'd. The H2 center caps don't fit, but it is quite easy to modify the 3rd gen caps to fit. Personally I like the looks of a truck without center caps.

 

Thanks guys, I purchased them already drilled out, they came off a 3rd gen, for $400 I couldnt pass em up, I got a price of about $40-50 a rim for coating, as far as centers im gonna try the 2nd and 3rd gen caps to see what I like best, even though it looks good with no centers

 

So do I

I see all these guys doing the H2 thing-- but WHERE are they getting the wheels and rubber??? Especially so cheap?

I'd like to upgrade to 17s, but you know how it goes.

Are these wheels 17x8?

 

I too would like to go larger on wheels... but drive too many miles to spend that kind of money on the rubber!

I've been assuming the ebay H-2's are knock offs at those prices.... and have some concern about sufficient flex?
May be wrong - as I said, I'm just assuming; no research done, cause decided not to make the change!
