This is a pic from a hummer forum where my dad posted his rig, the blue color was a special edition (Jay Z blue). I have got to tell you guys something, when you see rims online, they are really no comparison to how they will look on a car. I was not that sure how these things would look on the truck, but they looked great! The toyo MTs look great and the agressive tread looks great with the rims!
take a look:

If you guys are wondering, I am Frank III, and my dad is Frank jr.

my dad is also in the construction business. He is the vice president of Davis Iron Works in Walled Lake Michigan. He was trying to decide between the new ford F-350 longbed version dually. The good thing is that the Hummer is only a lease, not a full buy. We are going to be in the process of building a cabin in Mancelona, Michigan, and we will be getting a truck in the next 2-3 years.
It was worth a try,

that name sound familer, im know i have heard it before. the problem with the new fords is that you have to take the cab off to work on the engine meaning every time something goes wrong bigger then a oil change you have to take it back to the dealer or have lots of personal specialtiy tools. this is for the deisel that is. really i dont like any of the 08 models, think they are all ugly. so how much room is really in a hummer, they advertise them as huge but its shorter them a suburban.

The Hummer has a enormus amount of room, and alot more leg room than the suburban, and our fasmily has had suburbans for almost 15 years. My dad just sold his 2001 yukon Denali XL, and the hummer sits higher, and has more room that that.

yeah, suburbans are probably the most reliable car made, and a total gas guzzler!!!

Don't worry that'll be covered in your first day in Engineering class.
Don't show up hung over. That's an important le$$on.

Frank, that truck looks awesome. Those wheels and tires really make it stand out. That Skidoo sticker in the back window is the piace-de-resistance. The crowning glory.
Personalizing your truck, sled, bike, boat, moped, whatever, is where it's at.
Not everyone has to like it. Just he guy paying for it. LOL

i know its all aobut impact and disapating force in crashes and its cheaper but you touch the thing and it crumbles. i like the 50 cehvy one tone we got, you could hit it with a hammer and not dent it.
