Humden 10-21-2005 05:04 PM

I don't like them. It's a Hummer not an Escalade.

Steve - SanJose 10-21-2005 05:12 PM

Just my 2 cents. I like 20" to 22" chrome wheels, but this wheel is too busy looking. Looks like a pain to keep clean. Probably one of the least attractive wheels I have seen on this website.

That's what I needed to know, scratch that ... looking for wheels still..

DDWH 10-21-2005 05:57 PM

They would look good with spinners

Just kidding man, I would agree though on something not so busy. Did you look at american racing they have some H3 specific rims. They also tend to run alot less than the bling bling brands. I have ran and abused them on my Sub for 10 years now and they have been fine. I just can't bring myself to spend 1600+ on rims, when i know my wife would borrow it and then do a gutter ride

Goto http://www.wheelsnext.com and look at the SUV specials. You will get 4 20" wheels with tires shipped for free for under $1700.00. This is where you want to go. I was at a Hummer dealer last week and the had the symbolics on an H3 for $3990 (the feak'n wheels and tires are under $1500 on this site).

HumbleAg 10-21-2005 10:18 PM

I'm not into bling, but I think I actually like those wheels.

I think they'd go pretty well with the other chrome on your truck.

Good luck.

Klint 10-21-2005 10:22 PM

Hey bud I dont know if you know where Lufkin is but it is only an hour and a half from Humble.. If you want to get together and go.. Well my 35k dollar truck doesnt get off the road but we can go hang out.. see if we cant find some more ppl around here...

HumbleAg 10-22-2005 01:18 AM

I know where Lufkin is, spend time working up there occasionally.

My Hummer dealer is having an outing next weekend in Alto (offroad park?), but I'm not going to make it. We have to go to my wife's grandmothers 90th birthday in Fort Worth. Unless she doesn't make it that long. (kidding)

I'll let you know next time I'm coming that way, probably not too many Superior Blue H3's up that way.

Klint 10-22-2005 04:21 AM

yeah at Shaloridge (the only park in Alto, if you hever never been there than it is alot of fun it is around 2k sq ac. it is huge just have to watch out for all the fourwheelers. But you have around 15 or so mudpits and then you can either go trailing, or go mudding or just go ride around in all the beautiful feilds. The good thing about there is that there is almost 2 ways to get around everything so if you don't want to do something you can go around it. It is alot of fun out there But I wouldnt take my Hummer Call me a weener

MotorsportsAuthority aka Dragon 10-22-2005 04:55 AM

these actually look really good and aren't that blingy. i have them on my duramax. i'll see if i can't dig up some pics to post up.

MotorsportsAuthority aka Dragon 10-26-2005 02:44 PM

here u go:




Spike 10-26-2005 04:36 PM

Now that I have seen the pictures of those rims actually mounted I have to say they are pretty nice looking rims. Additionally with all those flat surfaces they really don't look like they would be too much trouble to keep clean. Are the ones on the Silverado 18's?.

fourfourto 10-26-2005 07:29 PM

They look great, If i was buying Chrome rims I would buy those.

H3 gray aventure ,sunroof, steps ,roof rack ,smokers package ,window vents, sunroof visor, hard spare tire cover, h3 valve caps ,and mudflaps 2,700+ miles

MotorsportsAuthority aka Dragon 10-27-2005 03:24 AM

yes they are.

Klint, I think a set of these will make your red H3 scream!

IMO - I wouldn't go with anything above an 18" wheel. You'll have upsprung weight issues that will affect braking and besides, it's a Hummer, you'll want beefy tires.

Another way to go might be to get a set of stock chrome rims off Ebay. Then, install wide 33" All Terrains like BG Goodrich or Nitto Terra Grapplers in a 295/75-16. That way, you get nice flashy rims coupled with beefy tires.

If I had it over again, I would have taken that route. Can't go back now since I spent all that money though...

gchurchill 10-27-2005 05:26 AM

yo kacyk. are those 33's on that rig? they almost look a little bigger. im a sucker for black n chrome.

kacyk 10-27-2005 05:37 AM

Here's a link that gives perspective on how and why I went from these 35's to 33's.

I think they would look great. Get 20 or 22", they both fit well.

Here's a link for y'all wanting to go rim/tire upsize. Click on the tire tips (upper right), it shows very good datas before considering upgrade.

Oops, forgot the link.

timgco 10-28-2005 10:46 PM

LMAO! And the link sais there are no tires available for this vehicle.

DDWH 10-29-2005 12:00 AM

You have to put in the base model to get choices. It gives you 2 choices of shiat tires from that <span class="ev_code_PINK">ghey french</span> tire company called <span class="ev_code_PINK">Michelin</span>

UNOMYFLO 10-29-2005 02:08 AM
