Jayson.Medic · September 30, 2012

ok i have a 2009 silverado 1500 crew in white. currently have 17 stock alloys but am needing tires, so why not get wheels too. right? i found two oem wheels i like the first is the chevy z71 painted and the other is a chrome gmc six spoke. which ones does eveyone think will look better? any pics would be helpfull.

I vote for the chrome but really it's just whatever your preference is.

Wheel two is, was my choice. I got mine from a seller on Craig's List. Wheels only, no tires. BTW, those wheels aren't painted they are factory polished & coated cast aluminum. I luv mine. IMHO, it's the second best looking alloy truck wheel GM has ever made. My favorite was the old S10 15" deep dish wheel, but of course not an option for our trucks. I am not a fan of chrome wheels and definitely not a fan of chrome clad wheels.
