Have you had a front end alignment since you've had the Coopers on? Just curious as I loved the Cooper Tires I had but I couldn't find any place (2 GM dealerships and 2 Firestone) who could do an alignment due to the large rim protector that they had :dunno: so I ended up selling them.

Nope, hadn't asked about that, I bought these locally from Performance Wheel & Tire, so hopefully they have the equipment.  Wouldn't I be able to get an alignment with my stock rims/tires also?  They've already done that for me when I had the keys installed...

I was just curious on the alignment part, as the Coopers did not work out for me..... Yeah you could swap back to the stock set up to do alignments I guess  :dunno:

Here are my 20" NS Racing Wheels and 275/55/20 Falken STZ 04's They are polished aluminum, when I was looking I wanted something with some black on them but was not a big fan of the solid black spokes. I was getting mine Gatorbacked in black, have some TEAK running boards with black inserts and a TEAK rack over the bed covers, so I thought I needed a little black on the rims............I just realized, I do not have a good picture of my Avalanche since I put the wheels, the TEAK and the black Gatorback on but believe me it looks good! Here are the wheels.................

Besides the good looks the two things that I like about them the best is:

1. The large open spaces between the spokes make them very easy to clean.

2. A 5 spoke wheel with more open area will make the wheel look larger.

I know I am a little behind on this topic Chris but if it's not too late I totally agree with BD.  Stay away from the Eagle GT II.  That is what I have to and they are junk.  They pick up everythying, they have been on two summers (remember I switch back for winter) and they are shot already.  I need new tires as well but I can assure you that I won't be buying GY this time around.  I will probably go with Jeff and Steve's tire or the Pirelli like BD.  I have had Pirelli in the past with no problems at all. 

I might also suggest that you try Tire Rack.  They seem to have good deal on tires and sell the national road hazard plans with the tires.  I am looking there soon because I need three sets of tires (one for the 20s, one for the stocks and one for the lady's car).
