Sorry but those are what I think looks like ghetto spares. I much prefer stock to that look. I don't think custom...I think cheap.

Your ones on now are sweet though.
People liked em....

I wish my current wheels were 19" or 20"

People are big dumb animals...a person is smart...like me :wink:

I would never own a 19 due to tire selection. 20s would fit your style but I like your look now

I think I seen you and JrSS mention that about my dipped SS wheels, looked like a spare, which I agree. Much cleaner with the dip removed. Plus if I go black, they will be painted gloss black instead of using dip.

I did...fully painted. Black paint with accents doesn't bother me really. I just despise all black...powder-paint-plasti. They look like spares.

I really like the style that the majority of Konig Wheels have, wanted to put some on mine, but didn't want the wheels sticking out too much with adapters

Thanks. It has been serving me well. 3.8l. LS package. Grey leather and carbon fiber interior. 28-30 mpg average. Much nicer size n ride than most lil cars that get similar mpg.

Not with driving it year round in snow and with our potholes. I spent a good amount of time debating it and can't justify it. Its just a workhorse. I do want better fogs...factory suck...and maybe a deflector for sunroof. Its horribly noisy.

I know you're not the lowering type, was saying if it was mine. I've only had deflectors cause more noise honestly, that's why I took all them off my Yukon. Are the fogs hazed or is their just poor light output?

Clear but designed for got n I want driving lights.

I would lower anything not 4x4. I was damn close with the impala honestly.

Multiple sunroof deflectors? I know my window deflectors on all vehicles have not yielded noise that I noticed but I don't like the look on cars.

Maybe you could put 6K HIDs in the fogs?

Would look sweet lowered, but makes sense to keep it stock height since you've got snow & rough roads

Not multiple sunroof deflectors, I didn't have a sunroof on my Yukon. Had deflectors on the windows. Could of been the fact that my Yukon was un-aerodynamic as f*ck and it has some thick tread on it lol. LOVED hearing the tread rumble along!

I love my current deflectors on TB and did on every other SUV I have owned. Surprised you had noise issues.

I don't use my sunroof due to noise now so may try the deflector at least.

Can't be much worse.

I debate stereo upgrades but only listen to books on CD most of time and the head unit is linked to DIC

I'm not one to care about having a beastly audio setup, I do need new speakers though, only front door speakers work now. I'd like to replace them all

I am. I have a pair of alpine 10s in the TB. Got front components and rear speakers ready for install when I get time. My burban had pair of 15s. My lil two door blazer was ridiculous way back when...4 tweeters, 4x6 plates, 6x9s, pair of mtx 8s, 3 JL 10s, and 2 JL 12s all at once.

I got all the stuff for the impala sitting around if it wasn't for DIC crap w head unit.

Audio mods are a big thing here, a lot of soldiers like to bring their cars/trucks to these rip-off, half-assed audio shops in town and they get ripped off.

I know a lot of guys at work that know a lot about setting up systems. Don't see the point personally to have music loud as fuck, shaking the vehicle, and drowning out noise outside of the vehicle. Too distracting and it can start to make all sorts of things inside break and rattle around. Not for me

I would love a nice double din touch screen. Maybe add a back up camera. I like the sound of the stock Bose system with a 10" Alpine sub. Enough sound and bumps for me :yes:
