Re: post your 8-Lug wheels!
i have the aluminum HD wheels stock on my NBS but i really like the H2 wheels painted or powder coated black with the machined parts left polished. i almost had a set of gear alloy injectors for the HD but they were ford lug pattern.

Re: post your 8-Lug wheels!
I was originally thinking the h2 wheels powder coated black, but the suburban is currently silver and navy 2 tone, and is soon to be only navy. Maybe h2 wheel in chrome with the chevy hd center caps?

Re: post your 8-Lug wheels!
I bought some Moto Metal 951s, more for convenience and cost than anything. I got a like new set for $200. These are a 17x9 and have some positive offset to keep the wheels mostly in the wells.
IMO, if I were you I would just scout your local Craigslist every day until you find a set. ALWAYS works for me.
Here is a pic, I have since put on hubcaps also.

Re: post your 8-Lug wheels!
I personally like the American Racing Fuel 8's. Here is a website with a tire and wheel combo for $1335. But The tires are Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs. The only thing I dont like is that in order to get 8-lugs you have to buy a 17in wheel.

What size tire are you running? I'm looking for a set up very similar to that.

Re: post your 8-Lug wheels!
Thanks! You know, I was SERIOUSLY considering running 17" hummer wheels from an H2. I was about to pick a new takeoff set up with new BFG 35s actually.
I guess what changed my mind was that the wheels have a hefty + offset. That's good for suspension geometry and whatnot, but I want the tire/wheel outer lip to at least be flush with the flare or body. The Hummer wheels will actually tuck inside the fender and hang in just a bit. Just not the look I was going for... Do a search here in titles for "hummer wheels" and you will find some pics. I also found some pics on Google image search.
