Hi! I just bought a new 2007 black tahoe lt 2 months ago and I got the 17" tires.
I have decided I don't like them and am trying to decide on which wheels to buy for my tahoe. I am a girl and have never had rims so I want something that will look nice and classy... want people to know a girl drives it if that makes any sense.
Anyway- I am having a tough time deciding on what to get because I am mostly looking at pictures of the rims and would love to see some of the ones I'm considering on an actual vehicle.
The ones I'm leaning toward are the Boss 315 or the 328 in chrome.
Thanks so much :)

You could try something custom like this...

have you tried looking on tirerack? You can go on thier, see the prices, see the rims on your tahoe, and pick the size which you think looks the best. Thats where i got my rims from. Great company....but if you are really considering the boss rims, i personally think that the 315s would look very nice. I think that rims with lips look better in most cases.

Hey Parks, Welcome to the site!
I agree w/GMz the 315's have a better look. The problem with the 328's is that they are kinda similar to a set of polished factory 20" 5 spokes. I don't know where you're from but I'd recommend going to a Discount Tire if they have them where your at. Very knowledeable staff that will make sure you get the right size & offset for your Tahoe, they have good prices (w/ road hazard). If you decide to order online make sure you get a rim w/ a 30mm offset so that you match the factory offset. Start changing this and you'll likely run into serious rubbing issues.
Thanks for posting. Glad to see that a lady isn't intimidated to post here.

Best of luck!
Be sure to post some pics of your ride when you get the new wheels.

Well, that's pretty harsh, and of course couldn't be further from the truth.
MEParks, I think it's great that you own and drive an SUV in general and specifically a Tahoe, and that you jumped in here to discuss things. I figure if you've got enough confidence to do those things, then you are probably big enough take a little humor.
My response was based on her saying "I am a girl", and "want people to know a girl drives it". And, hey, nothing says "girly car" quite like pink shoes.

Thank you all for the responses.
I have decided to go with the boss 315's... especially after seeing the pix.
That was just what I needed to make my final decision!
