To Get Wheels Or Not To Get Wheels

Guys, I'm having the same problem as MAsz71 had. I can't decide on if I want wheels or not. I don't like the stock wheels on my truck as I don't like a ton of chrome. I love the 2008-2009 20" oem wheels but can't get my hands on a set. So the conclusion is, whch would look better on my truck, RBP 94r black w/ chrome inserts. RBP R95 black wheels, or KMC XD Hoss wheels in gloss black. With any choic of wheel i'm going up to a 20x9.0 and probably a 5-5.5 back spacing so that they don't stick out too far. I will get 33" toyo mts with any choice of wheels too. This is a big decision as these wheel are kinda pricey, I can get the rbp wheels for $1200 and the hoss's for $1000. Or I could rock the stock and be happy. Thanks for any help you provide.

I'm in the same boat as you. I really like the OEM 20's but would rather have something to make the truck more unique. I've looked at the XD Hoss too and they are on my short list. I like the XD Badlands too. Just another idea if you haven't checked those out.

 

I like the Novakane's posted above...never seen those before. I'm looking for a polished wheel so I'll have to see if those come in anything other than black. :rolleyes:

they're quite a bit more expensive than expected but that's about the same as rbp's...hey matt you got a denali, buy me some ;) and bowtie2sierra, if you want to get rid of your 20" oem's please let me know first. I live in north arkansas and will come get em. I have the 18" chrome oem wheels that are up for grabs right now. They have 1500 miles on em

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
