Default Wheel Opinions, Info, and Final Chrome Trim Acents...

Well, I'm back in the business of trying to bring the Hoe closer to the exterior specs of the Escalady.

Need opinion and info on wheels for those who are bored and want to help....

Ok, first question.... Do you think the wheels in the following two pics are the same?

What is the make/model of the wheels on the black Denali?

Lastly, any opinions on reputable mail order wheel/tire vendors (like TireRack.com)?

Any opinion on pro/cons as to 295mm width to 305 width tires on 22" rims?

Anyone know where to get a chrome trim piece for over the license plate on the rear hatch that DOES NOT have a cutout for Chevy Emblem (plain chrome piece)?

Ok that's all for now,
Anyone who wants to post pics of wheel idea, please do so , open for ideas!! 22s or 24s

Heres the rear hatch piece. This one comes with the handle cover too.

1. Yes I think they are the same but could be wrong, looks the same to me.
2. Chrome 24" U2? model 055
3. I dont buy wheels from the internet
4.295 35 24 on my truck no rub at all. 305 35 24 I've heard they rub here and there.......I think most people have a problem with the width of the tire not height.
5. I'm wondering if the gmc chrome piece would fit?

I'd say either the U2 wheels or possibly Echelon Korum?

NOw guys I hate to tell U BUT spokes are out on wheels.. Yep just like fashion.. they get everyone all pumped up on yearly colors, etc and then come out with some other twist.. Spokes are Spokes.. square, tappered, double, etc.. every person that looks at a HOT Looking Hoe look at the wheels and see SPokes.. They are never close enough to see the brand so all they see is a five spoke wheel chromed... Set the New trend and move away from SPokes.. Just my feelings... MARIE

Maybe I'm missing something but aren't the ones you show spokes?

I guess I'm old school cuz I still like a five spoke wheel.

PS: Congrats on the successful pic post!

Thanks for the input thus far. Marie, I think you are right. As much as I've been a 5-6 spoke wheel fan, I think I like the classier look of the multiple spoke (dunno what you would call it) like the TIS07. Just more of a luxury look than a "sport" look.

Keep the suggestions coming, it all is very helpful!

Did I screw up the pic attachments? I think i missed somethin'
