Default New wheels for the Avalanche?

It isn't an LSx vehicle but I use it as my tow pig for my LSx vehicle.
Just a quick question. I can get these wheels that cost a little more than $4,000 just for the wheels for about $2,000 with Good Tires on them.
Do you think they will look good on my Avalanche?

I think they would be pretty sweet, although the 20" stockers have always looked good to me . . .

Sharp Avalanche BTW!

Shoot me PM on sizes your looking for and what tires they were giving you.

i can probably beat that price you got shipped to you with lugs and locks as i do business with them.

except for the fact that he's obviously not all that happy with the looks of the stock wheels, or else he wouldn't be looking into changing them. nothing wrong with wanting to make your ride look better, as long as you have the cash for it.....

Depending on the size I think they will look great.

To me, the only thing that fills these trucks up is a 24" wheel.

I'm with ZFSix on this one. 24's are the way to go if you can afford it. 22's will be more practical though.
