    I got some 18's for the truck

    I've been looking for a set of take off 18" hybrid wheels and tires every since I saw and read about them. They are super light and billet. I got this set in Dallas on saturday that came off a 2011 Tahoe Denali Hybrid. The tires have 95% tread left and came with the TPMS installed. I love the way it looks now as the wheels are 1" wider tires are .5" wider and 1.5" taller. I was a little disappointed as the new setup weighs 12.5lbs more per tire/wheel.IMG_0340.jpgIMG_0338.jpgIMG_0339.jpgIMG_0341.jpg

    Different good or different bad. Don't worry you won't hurt my feelings. There are lots that don't like the hybrid wheels. I guess that is how I got a set lol.

    Interesting. I kinda like the way they look. So what is the width on them? If they're lighter rims but yet they're 12 lbs heavier, what was your previous setup?

    Not sure, I've never seen them in person. You need my old Tahoe 17s on there.

    I like the style of them. I think they'd look good PC's in a flat black on my truck. Might have to scoop up a set.

    Tehy look good. Probably the rear is an inch tall for my taste, but they look real good.

    Is funny that you say they are 12.5 lbs more than ur previous setup...what did you have there?

    I have a few set of those wheels, and without tire they are really light. lighter than any 18" wheel I ever carried.

    Probably the tire is the culprit. Those tires are way bigger than stock. Still don't know were 12.5lbs is added !!!!!
