Factory wheel options?

Does anyone have a list or old brochure that has a list of all of the OEM wheel options for the H3? I know the usual ones but I'm finding that there were many different options offered in 2008-2010 especially in the 18" variety

I've only seen a few; the standard 16" 7-spoke, either solid or split, offered in silver or chrome. Then there's the 7-spoke chrome 18", offered on the H3x. Otherwise, the only other OEM rims that I'm aware of are the steelies offered on the H3T.

Thats what I thought too until recently

Thank you that is exactly what I was looking for!

We are trying to standardize all of our H3s with 37s and there is a much better selection when you jump to an 18" wheel. We are really about using OEM wheels and these give a few more options

Really rare, are the 20" dark grey wheels for the T. Only seen one set.

Wow, I never knew about those! But...call me a purist, but it just ain't a hummer without the single leg fake air thingie that the stock rims have! If I ever go with aftermarket rims, I'll have a machine shop create some center caps with the offset leg, just to keep the unique "Hummer"" look!

Here are my H3X wheels, which are 18" x 7.5", with 305/70R18's mounted. I've never seen these wheels with 35's on them other than mine because those H3X models had lower profile street tires. For reference, these have the same sidewall height as a 33" tire on a 16" wheel. If you put 37's on these, you'd have the same sidewall height as a 35" tire on a 16" wheel. If you look at the spokes on that rare grey 20" rim above, they are similar to the negative space on these, and these spokes on these are similar to the negative space on those. Random observations. These also have a pretty cool big center cap.

Lol yes they all have faded bumpers and trim. Once new engine/ transmission/ suspension go in its getting fully detailed. Bumpers are both off to get painted gloss black

Nope, we made a few 1.25" bodylift kits

was any additional components required for the 1.25" kit? as I assisted a fellow H3 owner to install his daystar 1" lift kit, and was just wondering about the steering arm length, gear selector, abs sensors cables, etc. im thinking of doing 37" on my H3 next year and then need to do a body lift as well, and would much rather do the 1.25 from the start.

Are you running 37's on the stock diff or the Dana44/50 rigs? I've been hesitant on 37's because of the stock diff but also drive/wheel slow and feel I my rig could survive 37's...I say this never having run 37's lol
One has the Dana 44 one has Dana 50 the other is just the daily driver with cast iron alpha diff for now
