Default Help me decide on New wheels

For my Tahoe. I've narrowed it down to two choices.

A. 22x9.5 3 1/2"lip


B. 22x9 2"lip

For a Tahoe? I would go no bigger than 24" but I don't want to spend that much money.

Thanks for your input though.

i dont know if the other guys r saying they dont know about goin with 22's because they are too big, or because they are too small...but i think they are too small. i suggest saving up and getting at least 24's. 22's dont stand out anymore...stock trucks come with 22's...if you get the 22's i think you will be happy for a few months and then wish you would have gone bigger...just my opinion, but if i had to pick, i would go with the top wheel...

A all the way. Polished aluminum is easier to repair in case of curb rash, better looking spokes and the 3 1/2 lip is sick.

These wheels are made by TSW and the biggest size they make is 22". Here's a picture of a Tahoe sitting on 22"s, same manufacturer just different style. My tahoe already sits on SLP lowering springs. Thanks for the feedback guys.
