Just installed H2 wheels(pics)

Well after going around on this for a while I decided to stop being cheap and just get a set of new wheels, checked Ebay for a while till I found this set for $400 with only 7200 miles on em, drove to Long Island to pick em up and saved a ton on shipping, this winter I will powder coat em black and go with a set of mud terrains, I should be installing my leveling kit this weekend, but as of right now no rubbing except at full lock, I kinda miss my black rims though.

I think they look good. I would look at some center caps and maybe have them powdercoated black and see what that looks like. Other than that I think it sets the truck off.

Those look real good, did you have them machined to fit? Was that expensive?

Wheels look good.... have you called about a quote for the powdercoating, when I first got mine that's what I wanted to do and was quoted a price of around $1200, the guy told me it would be cheaper/easier to just buy black wheels instead.
So, if you get something reasonable maybe I'll take a drive down and we can get a discount for multiple wheels......

keep us posted.

Many get them because they can be had cheap. Most that get them get a set of new or nearly new 35" BFG A/T for 3-500 bucks.

Def need some centercaps though, 3rd gen caps would look great I think. If you want pull mine throw em on to see if you like the look.

The center holes need to be enlarged. You can do it yourself with a router or die grinder, or have them CNC'd. The H2 center caps don't fit, but it is quite easy to modify the 3rd gen caps to fit. Personally I like the looks of a truck without center caps.

Thanks guys, I purchased them already drilled out, they came off a 3rd gen, for $400 I couldnt pass em up, I got a price of about $40-50 a rim for coating, as far as centers im gonna try the 2nd and 3rd gen caps to see what I like best, even though it looks good with no centers

I see all these guys doing the H2 thing-- but WHERE are they getting the wheels and rubber??? Especially so cheap?

I'd like to upgrade to 17s, but you know how it goes.

Are these wheels 17x8?

I too would like to go larger on wheels... but drive too many miles to spend that kind of money on the rubber!

I've been assuming the ebay H-2's are knock offs at those prices.... and have some concern about sufficient flex?
May be wrong - as I said, I'm just assuming; no research done, cause decided not to make the change!
