Check that. I found some 2014 LTZ Tahoe takeoffs. Rubber and wheels for $1500. I am pleased with the result. I'll use these for winter for now and then maybe go with the replicas for the summer when I have a stack of cash laying around. Thanks again for all the input!

Thanks for the replies, guys. After all the reading around the forum, I decided to go with the 22" chrome SS reps with some Nitto 420s. However, I was driving all over town yesterday to find the best deal and lo and behold I find some 2014 LTZ takeoffs with rubber for $1500. I am calling on them today and should have them just alley by noon. Good call Thickcajun! Thank you again for your responses. I realized after I posted this message there was a whole Rims and Rubber forum. Thank you for still replying and not chastising my newbie mistake. Looking forward to keeping up on this site.

Thanks for the input guys. I actually did a ton of reading in the "Rims and Rubber" after I posted (again...rookie mistake) and noticed you guys had a lot to say out there. Thank you for responding to my post rather than chastising me. I really appreciate it. To me, that is the sign of a good community. I think I have decided to go with the 22" chrome SS replicas from tbssowners.com. Grab a set of 305/40R22 Nitto 420s and I'll be set. Thanks again!

Where did you end up buying them. I couldn't find it in the thread.

I do like that look. Thanks. Looks new, but stays true to the original.

Newbie mistake. Did not see this specific forum. I have a 2003 Black AWD SS. The chrome on my wheels is so corroded they are not keeping air. (Thanks Iowa winters.) I have grinded/brushed the rims down a couple times, but they are beyond repair. Can someone please offer up some of the best options? I would like to possibly go to 22s, but would be happy with a great 20" option. Here is what I see so far, in no particular order or logic (some of these may be stupid ideas...please let me know): Send rims away to be refinished - I have heard this is an option. I can't imagine it is all that cost effective. (and I would need wheels in the mean time). This has been suggested to me several times. Anyone have any experience or recommendation here? Buy replicas - I have a buddy who did this. He gave me the guy's handle here on the forum, but I am not allowed to search members? I must be too new?? He mentioned norcalss. Does anyone have any other good recommendations? Buy new...any style - I am struggling with this. I am a fan of rims as much as anyone, but I would really like to stay true to the original SS look. I am pretty much over chrome. I have seen some nice options online that are close, but again I don't want to stray too far. I am leaned towards brushed or super polished. Buy new...other Chevy style - I am going to contact some dealerships. There have been some killer custom options lately on the suburbans and tahoes. Might try to pick up a set from a dealer? I did that once before on an '08 Silverado that I had. Put the factory Tahoe wheels on that someone else had ditched for custom wheels when they bought theirs. This would stray from the original SS look, but would stay in the Chevy camp. Buy new...'08 Tahoe era - There is a place in town where I can get a new set of '08 era Tahoe wheels. I really like the looks of them, but I am afraid it would make the SS look too much like a Tahoe or a stand Silverado. Please give me your thoughts and options. I have seen some nice looking wheels in some people's avatars. I might start trying to hit them up. THANK YOU!

Thank you. I have a couple dealers I am going to check. I contacted Pilgreen and they have been really cool to work with so far. I really appreciate the lead. I have a black 03 SS as well. Looking to take care of the wheels and then hopefully do some engine work at some point. Great job replacing your wheels. To each their own, but for my taste, those were horrid. Thanks again!

In desperate need of some wheels. Factory wheels are shot. Can you tell me where you got your wheels and how much?
