Is it just me,... but it looks like those wheels would rub on the slightest bump?

NORCAL SS · 01-01-2011, 11:26 PM

nope they clear fine in both front and rear.

NORCAL SS · 01-01-2011, 11:27 PM

the ride is pretty good. Djm a arms in front ride great in rear due to a 8 inch drop it does hit the notch but with the bags aired up about 3/4 of a inch its fine.

**LEEVON** · 01-02-2011, 02:27 AM

Dayum! Looks great...I've been eyeballing the TBSS replica 22's...maybe this spring.

NORCAL SS · 01-02-2011, 02:32 AM

no prob i worked with 2 years on the trailblazer 22s with doug there for my trailblazer community and I was the driving force that finally got the wheels made.

baggedout81 · 01-02-2011, 02:35 AM

Dam that looks good

No, they arent. They are a 22" replica of the factory wheel. The SS wheel is only available in a 20.

That is bada$$!! That is the exact truck I've wanted to build since that style came out. BEAUTIFUL!!

x2.
The 'SS' Chevy should be building vs. the AWD extended cab yahts offered.

legendary · 01-05-2011, 02:47 AM

looks very nice

smbrouss70 · 01-06-2011, 02:41 PM

Tony, I really like the idea of the TBSS wheels for the Silverado. Your website only shows the wheels in chrome or gloss black, but says you can order them in Competition Grey. Do you have any pics of the grey ones, maybe even on a black silverado?

NORCAL SS · 01-06-2011, 02:55 PM

yes i have them in comp grey also.

some customers trucks
comp grey on white

on a tbss

smbrouss70 · 01-06-2011, 03:06 PM

Those look real good! Now I have to convince the wife that I really need new wheels.

I did some more searching and I found these pics. I "believe" they are your wheels.

NORCAL SS · 01-06-2011, 03:07 PM

he bought those off of me. those were the 22x9 tbss wheels with adapters. Those wheels he got when we still didnt make the 22x9 in the 6x5.5 fullsize bolt pattern.
