Hi,
I am interested in 20" OE wheels for my Tahoe (2006). Based on the reading that I did on this forum, it looks like there is a significant savings if I don't buy the upgraded wheels from the dealer and do it myself. Any suggestions on where I can buy the wheels?
Thank you in advance,

Ebay or the classified section of this forum. Great deals are there, just have to be patient. Good Luck

Follow my Wheel/Tire thread here:
http://www.chevroletforum.com/m_29206/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#29233 I went to Americas Tire store and sucsessfully negotieated a set of 20" Wheel/Tires for my 96 Tahoe.
Starting price was $1880.00 Out-the-door.
After a few e-mails I got him down to
$1220.00 Out-the-door for a BRAND NEW SET!!! That was for a CHROME SET, (no cheap polished wheels here) local, and no shipping ect!!!

That's an awesome deal? Any pics or links to the wheels yet? I live in Massachusetts and I don't have an America's Tire Store near by, are they part of discounttire.com? If you can provide more details, it will be much appreciated.

rsouri,
Yes Americas Tires and Discount Tires are one in the same.
I bought (am buying) The MB Brand "Gunner 6" Wheel in Chrome with (4) 275/55/20 Tires.
Send me an e-mail at:
wwotr@mchsi.com and I'll send you a link to the wheels.

Thanks Roger,
As a matter of fact, I was just looking at those myself, I do like them very much. I was just putting together a package of wheels/tires. I really like these rims and for tires, I like the Michelin LTX M/S in the 275/55/20 size. The only thing that wasn't listed on their site was the TPMS for my truck. I couldn't find any. They offer free mounting of the tires and I would want the TPMS sensors installed and shipped, I know those cost about $250 a set. They do ship for free. The disadvantage that I have ordering online is that I can't talk the price down at all, so a package for me comes to about $1800 without the TPMS sensors.
Thanks for the info.

Yea thats where I lucked out, because there are
no sensores on my 96 Tahoe.
As soon as I get them put on, I'll post pictures.
Good luck!
Let me know how you make out.
You might also check your local "Craig's List".
Out here in California, there at least 5-10 sets of 20" wheels that go up EVERY DAY!

Roger, the wheels look great. How did the install go at Americas Tires? I am considering the same wheels for an 06. I think they look fantastic.
