    Love the Tahoe, congrats! Looking for one myself in a year or two. Keep it stock.

      I'd keep it stock or go with something lighter than the photo shopped color - hyper gray maybe.

      Can you photoshop tint on your front windows to match the rest of the car? I feel like if you did that, it would look better with the stock wheels and too murdered out with the photoshopped wheels.

      Another option is to, I hate to say it, plasti-dip them and see how you like it - you can always peel off and get them professionally done by your buddy.

        I like the hyper gray color too.
        Couple levels down from the anthracite for sure.

        Thanks for this info.

          Darker wheels look better to me... But definitely not black!

            I like dark/blacked out looks on suvs :p just my opinion though

            Edit: As long as you don't paint them completely black you cannot go wrong with either choice.

              I see it, but I think its the flake in the paint. Its just the way the light is reflecting off the paint.

                Def not black. Anthracite is cool and so is the hyper gray actually. Some where in the middle or just a bit higher with color is needed.
                I just think the unpolished wheel is way too bright.
                Plus everyone has it.

                    It's a Tahoe. Just keep it stock and act like the grown up you are. If anything put a ranch hand bumper on there. Enjoy the rear air conditioning. Did you splurge and get cooled and heated seats?

                            Nice! Chevy has a great powerplant, and you can get good fuel economy with it. I rented a 2011 Silverado and it got 20mpg highway, and I think it's slightly less aero than a Tahoe.

                                You should give it a slight lift.
                                Maybe get some Z71 flares and call it a day.
                                I've always LOVED these (2000-2006 though) (yes, loved, give me all the shit in the world)

                                Keep the stock wheels though.
