I couldn’t find a specific section for wheels and tires here. So, here it goes.

Can anyone identify these wheels for me please?

I looked within our system, they are not there. Which means They are not an option for US spec vehicles, I won't have access to the global database for a while we are transitioning things around. So that is the extent that i can currently look up.

Thanks MrPink. Let’s hope someone else here can identify them. I’ve looked everywhere online for another clearer image with no luck.

Those were the prototype wheels for the '99/'00 Tahoe Z71. They never put them into production on the Tahoes. And I don't recall who they were sourced from. Chances are extremely high that they went out of production several years ago at the latest. American Racing has discontinued 95% or more of their 90s era wheels for trucks. Eagle Alloys is out of business. Most everyone still in business have moved to the new era, big, crappy looking wheels with fake beadlocks that are just awful.

I was gonna say, the body color bumper with fog lights is definitely Tahoe Z71, and the pics were clearly marketing material - but without knowing the full story on those limited models, I had no idea if they were ever produced or not. There's several OEM wheels that are pretty rare to see these days but were produced. I believe you're right that these particular ones weren't put into production.

If I had a guess, they were probably Ronal - they seemed to make a number of special wheels for GM back then, like the Tahoe Limited wheels, and B-body Impala SS.

Absolutely %100. I never liked the new designs on older trucks.

Of course it’s disconnected or was never made. I know my luck :(

Hmm, I may have to make a trip to our GM proving grounds(my office) and walk our prototype warehouse and see if this Tahoe or one like it is still there. It may be at our other facility too, but that is 3hrs from me lol.
