Upgrading the rims on your Hummer provides the single most impactful thing you can do as a Hummer owner to significantly change the look of your SUV. Consider these points are you decide whether to make the leap unto customized Hummer rims.
The first thing you need to know about is the make and model of the Hummer. Since I don’t have that information, let’s assumes that we are talking about the Hummer H3 2006 model. There is a lot you need to know before buying rims. I’m sure it can be confusing too. For instance, do you need a set of alloy or steel rims for your Hummer H3? And what about covers and chrome finishes? H3 2006 rims come in a lot of different finishes and colors. And all the time you’re wondering about the alloy or steel rims, you also need to know exactly what size your rims should be. Most owners are only worried about the way they look. But you should also consider how the performance will be once you get them and the safety issues as well. Another thing to consider when buying new or used rims is to find out if there has been any recalls from the manufacturer for the Hummer rims you want to purchase.
While I think it is good to go with the manufacturers wheels, you might want to consider upgrading your rims with options like these:
* 16″ rims/new – black with Teflon coating are about $170.00 and up
* Dale Earnhardt rims/17″ chrome plated are $230.00 and up
As I continued searching for Hummer rims, I found that used rims were a lot cheaper. The price starts at about $134.00 and up depending on the size, style, and color. I also found that if you don’t have all the money to purchase new, you can finance them at different locations. Obviously, this, in the end, will cost you more money since there will be a finance charge.
While style is nice, it could cost you a lot of money just to have nice rims on your H3. Something else to consider are the benefits. If you purchase the wrong type of rims, it could also cost you more in gasoline.
If your visit any of your local car dealers, they can also help in deciding not only the right rims for your Hummer, but the exact Hummer rims that you need. Once you have decided on that, you can then choose the style and color you want that best fits your needs.
Hummer accessories can really add to the look of the vehicle and customized Hummer rims can give it a dramatic face lift.
