Check out these new 24's from Boss...thinking about getting them

Was doing some searching on ebay, and found these wheels for a great price!  Check them out below and let me know what you think.  Also, does anyone know what the total diameter of the stock wheel and tire for the 07 is (non-20s..either a 16 or 17 can't remember).  thanks guys.

What is the tire size on side wall? I'll calculate the total diameter for you.
 
I wouldn't buy boss wheels. Thats just me.
IMO they are a lower quality wheel which = cheap price.
 
Try to find a real photo of a tahoe with the wheels you want.
The artistic renderings of digital vehicles and wheels on the internet are never true to life.
Meaning, the wheels on the vehicle won't look as good in person.
 
I always ask myself why some wheel companys don't offer REAL photos of thier wheels on REAL vehicles.

What is the problem with Boss wheels...do they have a rep of being poorly made? 

There is no problem. I haven't had any experience or known anyone thats had em.
 
If you like them, go for them.
 
 

I guess I'm just wondering if there is a history with boss wheels being made poorly, known to warp, etc.  If anyone has any input I'd really appreciate it

Personally I've never heard of Boss.  But I'm somewhat out of the loop when it comes to wheels.  They do LOOK good though.

from what I understand Boss motorsports is owned by American Eagle Wheels...if that means anything

Tire size on sidewall of factory wheels and tires is P265/70R17 ... I will be going to a 305/35/24 most likely...can anyone help me with figuring out the difference in current diameter and what the 24s will be?  thanks

Yeah they are made by american eagle. Wheel looks good but I don't trust the company. They have always had issues with their chroming. The chrome looks cheap and is poorly made. Trust me I used to work for a wheel distributor. They usually do not come with any warranties which is usually a big concern for me when deciding to buy rims. I know there are companies out there that have a 5yr warranty pn the chromed wheels and a 3 yr warranty on painted ones. You always get what you pay for. Just a heads up.

can anyone tell me the weight of the stock 17s? trying to also gauge the weight difference between the 2 wheels

31.6" (17s) vs 32.4" (24s) approximately

thank you!  from what I have heard from biglg is that the 305/35/24 tires have only about a 1mph diff at 60mph which is not bad at all...so that makes me a little more comfortable about getting them.

If you're looking to upgrde from the factory to 24's I'd also look into a bigger brakes so they can stop  the big wheels.

are upgraded brakes going to be a must? on boss' website, the ship weight per wheel is 54 lbs and the tires that I've looked at are around 40-50 lbs per tire.  Not sure what the total weight per wheel would be, and what that compares to current 17" wheel w/  265/70R17 tires running 33psi.  

After rotating my OEM 20s and OEM 17s, I can tell you that the 20s are very heavy in comparison.  Therefore unless the wheels you are looking at are a lot heavier, I don't think you have a worry.  Now if your rolling radius gets bigger, then you might worry about brakes.

Yes bigger brakes are a must if you're upgrading to bigger rims. Thats if you want to keep the car for a long time. If not just slap the wheels on and wait for problems down the road. Maybe you can find a set of cheap ones to match your cheap choice of rims. haha!

TCwhite what is that supposed to mean...are you tryin to flame? I'm sorry if I don't have 5k to drop on wheels right now because if I did I def would get the Gianelle Spezia 6, but I saw these for a good price...doesn't mean you have to act like you're better than me by sayin that
