Does anyone know where to get a set of the OEM 09 suburban black cop wheels, and I actually want the real cop center caps.
Also im looking for the front bumper bull guard thing...
Suggestions please. http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/3...03smqd1.th.jpg

And for everyones info, the reason i want the cop rims is cause im running 285/60R18 black wheels, and the cop wheels are 17's but also there black, light, and sturdy.... I want the smallest rim possible on my truck... Smaller wheel= better dyno numbers.
or you could spend that money on actual mods to make more power instead of tricking the dyno. you cant feel bigger dyno numbers but you can 40hp... a can of wd40 is real cheap just spray the rollers down and get some wheel spin going for numbers!!Quote:

Yeah he didn't say you can't do a burnout with 22's he just said there is a difference in the ability. The increase in weight of the rotational mass makes the vehicle some what slower. Just by switching from 20+ inch rims to lighter 16 or 17's many have seen improved times at the track not just on the dyno. Even if I don't agree with some of what has been said the logic is correct smaller lighter wheels many times equals a quicker vehicle.
Yeah i know. I got a set of 17s im going to put slicks on for the track. Was just saying for some trucks or cars the difference wont be as big
Burnouts have never been a problem for me, I have pretty much full bolt-ons, CAI, vette servo, shift kit, eaton posi, 4:10's, full exhaust, nelson tune, upgraded wires.... etc, I was just saying it makes a big difference with smaller rims and tiresQuote:

I was looking into those 140mph clusters, I was wondering if they would be accurate or not. I had my needle burried so I went to the gps and was at 142mph with the rpms at 5600.Quote:

that just seems like a long ways to go on a stockish truck to get to 142mph lol
Its not stock, I listed most of the mods up the post.Quote:

My wheels dont look bad I just really like the look of the cop wheels.
