granted, i just took the pic with my iPad camera. Hope to clean er up a bit and do a better photo session. Anyways, i really like the way the H3 wheels look on the Astro (got the idea from another member here)
Lifted (Dean) you should really look into a set of these wheels when you get ready to lift your 05, especially if you lift it enough to use the stock 265/75R16 H3 tires, It would look awsome.
I have a ban hammer and I ain't fraid to use it!

Yeah, I like them too. They would look awesome with a lifted van! There is a guy at work who parks near me who has an H3 with the same wheels. His may be missing sometime!

also, it seems like the H3 whells can be picked up used fairly cheap. There are sevral places here in town selling complete sets for under $400. I actually traded a laptop for these and got the spare with a brand new tire on it as well. I wish i could find someone to buy the tire at a decent price.

Wasn't into the wheels but they look good on an Astro that isn't as butt ugly as a Hummer and I DO like the graphics. I was thinking that the sides on mine need something but didn't have a good idea what. Don't want to be a copy cat but that gives me an idea. I wish I were smart enough to do the graphics to an existing picture on my computer to see how it would look the way you have.
Those H3 Hummers are just ugly sheet metal on a Chev Colorado pickup. They come down the same assembly line.

Impossible is just a degree of difficulty....
you can actually get replacement center caps for these wheels that do not say Hummer on them, if i was not such a cheap skate, i would get a set, but meh..these are fine.
I don't care if someone copies my idea on the graphics, heck, i got the idea for the H3 wheels from another member here...

I agree. Being an old Marine Corp vet the red white and blue hold a special place. By the way, today is the 236th birthday of the United States Marine Corp. The finest fighting force known to man kind. Semper Fi brothers and sisters.
