Early 2000-2005 Chevy Tahoe vs. Toyota Sequoia

[b00sted_spyder]

Tahoe/suburban driveline are identical to the 1/2 ton silverado. Same 4l60e transmission, same 8 1/4" front diff, rear diff is almost the same. Transfer cases are the same.

Yeah I'm trying to find Z71 wheels, just missed a set for $180 shipped on the forums.
All these locals want $450+ for their shit.

I found these

Not sure yet, would like to keep it cheap.

I'd really just like a set of OEM Z71 wheels too.

I want to say a big thanks to kracka for all of his help and his southern hospitality.
BBQ and whiskey was amazing!! I miss TX already.

Thanks to asshanson to having me for the night and drinking more whiskey!! Your new place is amazing! I love it.

Those are both the 2007+ styles, so they'll be more expensive. I think I paid $700 for mine a few years ago with junk tires. Surprisingly, the 20" tires were actually cheaper than the 17's. The factory Z71 wheels for that year are pretty good looking and should be reasonable, if you can find a set locally.

[turbotalon1g]

yeah, it's crazy the pricing on wheels.

To be honest I've been searching for a few hours and I'm realizing after searching forums, CL, and tirerack.com

That 17s will be getting tough to find, the selection of 17s on tirerack was disgusting they don't offer shit. I'll stick with 20s if I can, but I have to see what I can score a deal on.

I'll just stick with these unless I can find a deal of some kind.

Ordered up parts to do a tune-up, plugs, wires, PCV valve, oil filter, etc.

I'd personally just plasti dip the centers and leave polished lip on the wheels you have.

Agree, I actually like those wheels. Would look peemp with a hyperblack / black chrome coating.

[turbotalon1g]

They look goof in those pics b u t no where as good in person.

I like these a lot.

I do like the Z71 17"'s. But the 20's you linked looked nice too. The problem with 20's is the price of tires....especially if you want something that will do more than just go down the freeway.

Actually, I found the price lower for the 20's over the 17's. I suppose they're more common these days. I'm already due for my next set(got about 45k on my current Falkens), and I really like new tires. Decent tires are only about $160/each, go figure.
