Thanks. They are made by FN Wheels. They are the BFD model. They only weigh about 23 lbs each.

I've never heard of them. I love how they are Japanese inspired designs but built for trucks. Great find.

What are you guys using as Cell Phone mounts/holders? I've been keeping my phone in my center console cup holder (Crew Cab with NO Center Console) However when I'm using my phone as a GPS this really does not work well since my phone is not within my line of sight. I really don't like windshield mounts since they require my phone to be clipped in all the time.

I'm using the ProClips. They clip to the console and no holes to drill.

I've been searching for wheels for 6 months and couldn't find any I liked until I stumbled onto these. They are really popular with the Toyota guys due to the Japanese styling and light weight. Turns out Toyotas have the same bolt pattern as GMs. The owner of FN Wheels is super cool and was very helpful with the whole process. He even had a set of hubcentric rings made for my truck.

Done!

What you think?

 

Sure looks mean.

I hope it sticks well. I would be afraid of it chipping.

 

I would have to see the truck in person and let it sink in to decide if I wanted mine that blacked out.

But it looks very well done and looks really tough.

Used automotive paint. And everything will chip. The chrome it used to be was already chipped.

 

No offense. But I think it's funny when people say something is going to get chipped or damaged. I live in Wyoming where they put sand and rocks on the road In the winter. (Damages everything)

But it completely changed the whole look of the truck.

The is the occasional chip factory paint and chromed plastic can get.

And there is all the pain falling off like you see when someone spay paints a chrome bumper.

 

I have seen Camaro's and Firebird's where if you touch the rubber bumpers the paint falls off.

 

Everyone expects a rock to chip the paint. No one expects for a fly to knock a 6 inch chink of paint off.

 

I meant that kind of extreme chipping.

I never said it would chip, I said I hope it doesn't.

What did you use to black out the door pillar? Looks great!

 

Also could you post some more pics but from a bit more distance showing the whole truck? Interested to see how that glossy of an inbetween looks from further than just right up next to it

Funny, cause your truck made me want the black pillar on mine =)

I just got them off amazon///Just type in 2014 sierra black door pillar. Its super shiny , almost like dark tinted windows ...the fit will never be 100% perfect but it does change the look for sure.,...about $35..Ill snap more pics later and paste them back on this thread

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
