W1N maybe...but I want the same thing in 22s, so even better! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

The one in picture looks like a 20" 8K Wheel. I don't think they have them in 22's.

You should have pics on your e-mail...

Mordak,

On our first H2 I bought 20" Lexani VP Off Road wheels with 325/60-20 Nitto Mud Grapplers. I didn't go with 22's or anything larger due to brake distance issues (upsprung weight) and there were really no All-Terrain tires in those sizes. I too require this truck to have winter traction. The Mud Grapplers were too noisy and brakes were terrible, if not unsafe.

On my wife's H2 I bought Kaotic NT-2 in 18's with Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain tires. In my opinion this is a good balance of looks, safety (brake distance issue) and function. The Toyos are quiet and look aggressive. Besides, you ever parallel park the thing? You'll need big tires or you'll scratch those rims!

[Mordak]

I do like the look in the picture...and I will never offroad this vehicle (parents bought me it...they'd kill me if I offroaded it heh)

I guess for winter I can put the stock tires/rims back on though for performance in winter and to not destroy the 24s.

ARH...how do you see $5k for the vault with tires? Jeez heh...The rims are $1785 as I said in 1st post. A set of tires sure can't be $3,215... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I went to a website that offered them with tires mounted & balanced for $4975.00 as a package. It was easy enough...

[kacyk]

Actually, before I decided on the Kaotic's the Mazzi hulk was my other choice.

[kacyk]

Personally I like the bigger blade look on the H2 than the skinny "Rolex" spokes. If you want "bling," the Lexani VP Off Road wheels I had come in 22 and 24 as well. Take a look at mine again, although they are 20's, you can imagine how good they will look in 22's.

[Mordak]

Hmm odd...I was going to ask what type of rims (with pics please) you sell, I don't see any on your website.

[Mordak]

Ok so I have decided I want to buy rims, and assume I will need new tires to go with them...currently I have the 17" chrome from the luxury package in the 05.

Chrome rims are a must (like the look). I live in Buffalo, NY so all terrain (like the stock tires), are a BIG plus since the snow is harsh here in the winter...

I'm looking for 22" or 24". I'm pretty ignorant on rims and all though, I've been checking eBay and I think I really like these 24" ones...


It says they are 24x10, bolt pattern 8x165, with 10 offset. They are $1,785. I know the 24 means 24"...what's the rest mean? Also which tires would be good with these and what would the typical cost of a set of 4 tires cost me?

Oh also...what's the typical cost to have them installed?

I have an 05 White H2...so I think these would look really good on mine.

Ok still need some answers to the tires, braking, installation cost, and how the ride feels with 24"s thanks </div></BLOCKQUOTE>The Vault's with tires will run about $5K. F&R Brembo's will run $6-8K. The H2 rides superbly on 17-20's, bigger than that it gets a little busy.
BTW, if you put 24's on & like it, you'll hate your H2 all winter with the "Snow Set" of factory 17's on it. If you were to consider 20's it would look good year-round. Good luck.

Nah never parallel park Those 20s look like, the 18s too small for my taste, I really want 22s heh... I'm thinking of buying from http://www.gstyle4u.com </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Mordak, Don't let them get to ya, I'm looking at 22s as well. I have a customer of mine who owns a "Tuner" shop. He's in Chicago this weekend at a trade show, and he's going to take some pictures of H2's with 22s so I can make an informed decision on what I like. Keeping the stock rims for winter though.
If you are buying for G-Style, you can't go wrong. I recently bought some of my BLING from them. Good People!

[kacyk]

22" Capellas only $1,250

These are forged alloys.

With 22's you really need to start thinking about brakes as well.

Bling Bling,

Ok guys, let's end this thread...getting too long. I'm making a new 1, go post on it

http://www.superbuytires.com seems to have lots of rims and pictures of the rims installed on H2s! Wow! I reeeeally like the Bazo B8 22" rims! However the site doesn't have a price on them
</div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm pretty sure those are 20" wheels...

I believe you should be ready to pay around $300-$400 per wheel when going to 22" rims

[Mordak]

Ehh not a fan of those kacy, I'm not a huge fan of the Bazo B8 22/9.5 or the Echelon Rolexx 22/9.5 either, but seem to be my favortie 2 I've found so far.... now I just need to decide which 1 heh, Bazo looks like $460/each, and Rolexx at $360/ea.

[Mordak]

Damn, the Mazzi Hulks look good too!

Bit pricy at around $530/each though

Now if only I could find a picture of the mazzi hulk's 22" on an H2

Mordak,
to get the "look" i think you're trying to achieve you're gonna have to lower the suspension or your gonna have terrible "wheel gap"
i don't think mom & dad would be too happy with you messing with the suspension, just as much as they wouldn't want you off-roading.
factor in the cost of the suspension upgrade before buying your rims and tires.

[SoonerBoarder]

If you go with a 325/45/24, it'll be 35.4" tall (going by Toyo Proxes S/T which is not an all terrain, but has a neat tread).

If you must go with 24s, I'd go with that tire. You have some taller 22" mud and all terrain options.

The 24s will give you great handling, but a much firmer ride. If you think you like it, go for it.

As for personal opinions, I don't care for the way that wheel bows out. It gives it a front wheel drive look. That's just my personal opinion on that particular wheel.
