just bought an 05 yukon..28k miles...

[s4senna]

its charcoal (carbon metallic?), SLT,absolutely fully loaded except 4WD (good enough for me as I live in L.A....)it is exactly what I was looking for, paid $16.7k
it is absolutely mint...hope its a good buy :yesnod:

I just found some BBS RD-T 20'' inch wheels on ebay, and about to buy 285/50/20 tires.
i could not find any pics of a yukon or tahoe with these wheels on, and hope they will look good!!

I am slightly concerned about the tpms...I want to keep them as I find them to be useful, but hope they will fit, and need to find somebody local that can swap my oem tpms from my old wheels to the new ones.(anyone knows a good shop in L.A. where I can trust them to do a good job??)

I also want to install an in-dash gps/bluetooth/rear camera instead of my Bose in-dash 6 cd changer.I don't know if I will be able to keep my stock amp, and how it will fit in the bezel, but I want a clean job.

last but not the least, I am thinking of removing the roof rack...any tips??

so, I will have mint stock 17'' wheels and new (400 miles) Bridgestone desert duelers for sale soon

and promise I will be posting pics soon!!

thanks for the tips!!

Call up Exhibit and get the West Coast Custom guys to get 'er done:smilielol:



First things first... the TPMS is VERY easy to swap over and from what i know about it.. your new rims will have no effect one way or another on the TPMS sensors. they just come right off the rim and mount to the new rim, any decent place (Discount tire) will do this for you.


Dont know how to help you with the Head unit, still rockin stock in mine


As for the roof rack, i am pretty sure you cannot remove this completly without custom body work done to the roof. However, I am also pretty sure there are some pretty cool looking low profile rails that you can use to replace the roof rack that look pretty slick.

Post up some pics when shes all done

got my BBS wheels and hankook ventus tires installed yesterday..they simply swapped the tpms over to the new wheels...piece or cake..

also, what do you guys think I could sell my stock 17's with perfect condition bridgestone desert duelers (less than 500 miles) for?
thanks for the help and here are some pics of the stockers, and the new wheels.

I was able to get $300 for mine. I drove directly from the dealer to the shop where I got my aftermarket wheels installed. They only had 50 miles on them tops so there's a base for you to work with.. Unless someone wants to upgrade from steel wheels to aluminum and needs good tires it will be hard to get top dollar for stocker wheels. They will want just the tires..

Personally, I'm just going to keep mine... 'cause when I upgrade to a new 'hoe... I'll sell the old one with the stockers. Unless you do TOTAL custom... you won't get anything for them if they're on the vehicle.

BTW - looks surprisingly good... I'm not a fan of BBS, but those are a good look. :thumbsup:

 

[tybardy]

those look sharp.... what size rubber are you rocking...

 

[s4senna]

thanks....

tires are 285/50/20's

I am now looking for a kenwood 8120 and that will be all I do to it.
I am also thinking of removing that grille, I think it is just sitting on top of the stock one.

just one opionion here... dont get rid of that billit grill, that is a really nice touch, not to flashy and just adds a little extra to the truck, even more so now with those wheels!

you have one VERY nice looking truck there, IF it were mine, i think i would ditch the side trim... But ever still, very sexy truck. Too bad i dont have a GMC myself, I would buy that grill from you
