Hello Tom & Sharon,
;)
Just
wanted to drop you a note and say thank you for
all your help, expertise, and products you
manufacture for Hummer H1 vehicles. I recently
had a major restoration and re-engineering
performed on my 1992 4DHT LE truck including all
new Engine, Driveline and Transmission
components. Among the many things that I also
wanted to upgrade on this first-year vehicle,
was the handling (Shocks) and wheel/tire weight
performance, without sacrificing the rugged
military look of the vehicle.;)
As
you know, there are many cheap knock-off choices
in the aftermarket world when it comes to Rim
selection that claim they will fit a Hummer.
NONE of them are designed to meet
;)
the
weight load or off-set requirements of the AMG
Hummer. I would accept no less than a fully
Hummer weight -rated Rims for my truck... That
left me with 2 legitimate choices. (1) Brand new
aluminum AMGeneral 2-piece rims (which simply do
not have the look that would work on my
particular truck), or (2) the many choices of
Cepek 1-piece Aluminum rims.;)
With
your help, I decided on the fully blacked-out,
8-hole 17" rims with simulated Beadlocks and all
new CTIS system components. These would replace
my original 2-piece, 16.5" Steel Factory rims
which were substantially heavier than your
aluminum Rims, and considerably out of round
compared to your perfectly machined product.
Mounted on your made in America rims are 40"
Good Year Wrangler MTR Tires. Even with the
larger than stock tires, your rim and tire
combintaion weigh in considerably less than my
old stock 16.5" Rims with the normal sized 37"
tires mounted!;)
Coupled
with these Rims I added the fully adjustable
Cepek Shocks. In a word, the trucks' handling
and drive-ability has been transformed! Wheel
hop has vanished, and any shaking or vibration
the truck previously had has been reduced to
practically negligible (a minor miracle when
driving on 40" Tires!). I cannot thank you
enough for making such high-quality components,
and for all your time and patience on the
countless phone conversations we had about the
best set-up my truck would need using your
products. All the best and continued success to
you with your GT Products!Regards,br /> Franco Skilan
