yellow is a MAN COLOR DAMNIT!!!!! Besides mine isn't yellow, it's black and gold
Mark, at the time I had ordered Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips, but they were backordered for ever so I switched to the new mickey mtz's. The rims will stay on year long, just have to clean em a little more often in the winter which I don't mind...any excuse to start the pressure washer
The radar gps and cb were all black. I took em apart, sanded the black with 800grit then primed em with plastic primer and finished off with yellow top coat. Let then sit for 2 days then put back together.

Also you know what would look good with the yellow and the black the spare tire cover if you could paint the hummer yellow i think that will look sharp.
I LOVE THOSE RIMS.

rims are 17x8 with an offset of +12. I do not have any leveling kit, just cranked the t-bars 2 1/2 turns. Stock wheels rub with 35's slightly but because of the + offset there is no rub at all. I am actually about 1/2" away from the control arm at full lock.

I'm sorry...your rims are 17x8? so what size are your tires? and what does +12 offset mean?

tires are 315/70/17
if the lug plate on the rim is dead center of the rim from front to back it has 0 offset. Positive offset means the lug plate is moved towards the rear of the rim, negative means it is moved towards the front of the rim. In my case my rim has +12mm offset where stock rims are -38mm or something like that. So mine sticks out past the fender more than stock but also allows more clearance of the control arms when turning a wider tire.
