New Owner - 2002 H1 - Looking for recommendations for u... - 4/7/2008 7:40:25 AM    yellow7   Posts: 6 Joined: 4/7/2008 Status: offline I just purchased a 2002 H1 open top with 9000 miles on it. Looking for recommendations for possible upgrades (programmer, exhaust, ect). Also, are there any aftermarket wheels that will allow me to keep the CTIS ? I'm looking for black wheels. Thanks for any replies. Post #: 1

Not sure about black but there are aftermarket wheels that do work with CTIS. I have never looked into them but some of the dealers like Cerritos Hummer, in Cerritos CA., used to sell a bunch of them. I know used dealers like DC Motors put a lot on their reasle trucks. I have never looked into them so I don't know brands, etc. I have looked into some of the chip/flash performance upgrades and probably the best H1 mechanic in the country recommended against them. This guy is big into performance H1s so I have not done that either. There are probably some guys on here that have that can chime in. RapTorq, Predator and possibly PCM4Less could probably help you. _____________________________ 2006 H1 Alpha wagon 1997 H1 wagon 2008 H3 Alpha (in reply to yellow7) Post #: 2

If it says Alpha you will pay more. You might be able to find the polished wheels and have them powdercoated for far cheaper than a set of Alpha wheels. The list for over $2,100.00 each without the CTIS line or center cap. I got mine for $2,300.00 for a set of four including the CTIS, center cap, GSA tires with 30% tread left and shipping. Keep looking and the deal you want will happen. Just be patient. I am still looking for a spare set of the Alpha wheels. The last few sets I have seen sell have been in the $4,500.00 range. _____________________________ 2006 H1 Alpha wagon 1997 H1 wagon 2008 H3 Alpha (in reply to yellow7) Post #: 9

You can also powder-coat the ones you have. If you just want the beadlock for wheeling, you can save a ton of $$ and get the steel military ones for under $1k a set of 5. If you just like the look, maybe stick with the one-piece alloys so any tire shop can deal with them. rb _____________________________ 97.5 hmco (in reply to 3hummers) Post #: 10

Travis has some but wanted about $1000.00 each at the time. He also had some with some different machining on them. _____________________________ 2006 H1 Alpha wagon 1997 H1 wagon 2008 H3 Alpha (in reply to ronb) Post #: 11
