Escalade wheels are on

A couple weeks ago, I created a poll about my top three wheel choices for the Escalade. I'm happy to report that the poll winner was also my top choice

I went with Chip Foose DF-6 wheels in black, 24x10 (30mm offset) and Pirelli 305/35-24 tires.

a lot of guys don't like the rivets. i'm not sure why, i do, i think it sets off the rest of the black and chrome.
did you have a hard time deciding rivets or no rivets?

It was hard to decide on black vs chrome and rivets vs no rivets. Personally, I like rivets on wheels. It gives them a performance/racing look.

Looks good

I like the chrome rivets. It gives the wheels a little more definition.

Looks awesome. But after seeing one on 26s, thats the only route I would go.

Ride quality on 26s is crap in my buddies new F150. But it sure as hell looks good on the newer trucks.

Definitely. Just haven't had the time lately to get that done. Window tinters in Houston stay booked on appointments.

Bigger brakes are another possibility, I'd also like to be able to stop quicker.

I also have a 2007 GMC ex-cab truck, but it is stock and boring at the moment
