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.
Are you serious. Don’t get my hopes up bro lol. Say you found them, how can I obtain a set?????

If I found them, likely they are one offs for that vehicle and I am not going to risk my job for a set of wheels, lol.

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.
DOH! Thanks for the tip on Eagle Alloys. No wonder they disappeared from the catalogs!

Man, your job rules. I'd work as a janitor if it meant I could walk around places like that.

Agreed!
"I'd like some rims for my truck."
"Steel or aluminum?"
"Aluminum."
"Do you like beadlocks?"
"No."
"Here's our selection of Torq Thrusts."

Also, why aren't wheels on Summit shoppable by weight? I don't want a thirty-pound wheel.
