I just ordered my wheels from Centerline's overstock deals. I got 18x9 chromed Turbines with 5" backspacing (0 offset) for $149 a wheel. The guy on the phone said they had 8 wheels in stock when I ordered mine. I plan to order some 285-65-18 Trail Grapplers here shortly. I'm still undecided on which leveling kit I'm going with. I'm pretty stoked about my new rims though!

Just to forewarn you if you are anywhere near salt or other contaminates. DON'T let the wheels get exposed, they will pit and it is very hard to get them polished, my dad "lost" his new rims after only a month (they were waxed and washed a couple times as well). So now we spent hours repolishing them and they still aren't prefect and have small pits and then once we got them as good as we could we had them powder coated with clear powder. So it was a huge lesson learned ($250 for the PC $80 to have them stripped on top of the $1100 set of rims).

 

Sorry if that sounded bad, but this hasn't been a good deal.

I've had two sets of polished wheels like that. I got chrome this time so hopefully I wouldn't be hunched over my wheels for hours on end. I've been there, starting at 400 grit and working up to 1200, before finally polishing with Mother's and microfiber. I'd like to believe that chrome won't be as maintainance intensive. I can dream right?

Thanks for the heads up Mitchell. Do they rub the back of the fender liner? I had planned on a 2.5" kit, and trimming the rear of the fenderwell if needed. A picture would be awesome.

 

I won't know how it's all going to shake out for a couple months since I'm deployed.

Just to give you head's- up, I bought a set of the chromed CenterLine wheels and less than a year I had to pay shipping and to have the tire's taken off because the chrome started to pit and come off. They kept my wheels 3 month's when they were to ship them back I talked to the Mgr. and he said whatever happened to these wheels came back through the new chrome. At that time he told me to pick out a new set of wheel's, I did and another 3 month's later I got them and had to pay for mount and bal. again. By the way I picked out a Polished wheel the second time.

The moral to this story is you have to really take care of these wheel's like other people has posted also. I really do like my wheels and would buy them again. Hope this helps in some way!!!!!

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
