Yea I saw those at the NY auto show. It actually looked like a damn wagon/carriage wheel in person.

I have a picture of it somewhere, but I dont think it came out to good.

I guess I am not dumb enough to put that in any car... imagine how heavy will the wheel be... plus I don't own an 18 wheeler.

Those look big even on the H2.

I would say they are called Trips.

Before even clicking on the link that I knew it had to be on an H2

I don't care how rich you are but anyone who buys this is just s..t...u...p..i..d.
This is excess in the worst way.

And those are still stock brakes right?

It's an insane idea making 30" wheels for Hummer H2. I don't care about big wheels any cars. Only rappers and celebrities put 30" wheels any their car collections.
