Thanks guys, the pictures are from my droid so the quality is not the greatest. The braking power is amazing and the tires grip is indescribable. I will try to get some better pics up soon.

very very nice. I think I might get that same setup for my silver TA.
I know they are light, do you know what each wheel weighs?

The rims are 18x9.5" & 18x10.5" center and lip in chrome wt.32lbs & 34lbs. When I had them balanced there were two wheels that required no weights. The other two need very little to be balanced.

You will not be dissappointed. I know the consensus on here is rivets are rice and so on but the rims are of absolute quality.

I like the brakes, but not a fan of those wheels. Just not a fan of chrome or multi-spoke wheels. But, as always, whatever makes you happy.

That looks really good... I had the original chrome zr1's so I kind of wanted something different than the 5 spoke look. But the Trailblazer will be getting a set of true forged five or six spoke design with c6 zo6 brakes
