Yes sir! I had oem escalade handles on my 03, and these seem to be of similar quality, these are Dorman.

I've got some waiting for tows to be purchase to go to paint. You gonna try painting them yourself or have a shop do it?

Working on the paint situation now. Will not be doing it myself

I never figured out how to remove the pull from the bezel of the handle

There's a rivet to be removed.

What he said, remove rivet that holds the handle on then replace it with a #8 bolt/nut.

I had a few pics somewhere but can't find them. You can drill it out but I found it easier to grind the head off with a dremel then push it out with a small screwdriver.

 

[Cheeny23]

I did it with a file iirc, they are really easy to take out. Dremel would take no time. My handles came with the new hardware so Tonneh with the assist :mynga:

Also trying to decide on wheels. Its between 22x12 Gear Alloy 726, or Ion 183. I'll still try and pursue quotes on those fuels also. Tires will be 33x12.50x22 Toyo MT

Ions:

Gears:

Gears look great but are on the fast track to being played out imo
Ions look good too, Saenz just ordered some.

 

[Huck]

I like the Gears best, the Ions spokes look a tad spindly for a big truck IMO. Both look good though

 

[mike.]

I like the gears better, only because I don't care for the center caps on the ions.

 

[marc]

gears would be easier to clean too IMO but besides the center cap i do like the ions better.

Played out on the interwebz doesn't bother me, not like I'll see another set of either wheel in Minnesota :lol: Except whoever Matt sold his Gears to.

I agree. The spokes are alright looking to me, and something about the center cap I don't like on the Ions. I like how simple the Gears look, and how spokes are solid looking. Especially for going on an HD. imo
