Had the tires and wheels installed an hour ago. Looks amazing actually. Really happy with that.

 

Unfortunately the balancing has to be off, the truck was shaking like a son of a on the highway.

 

Also unfortunately, my desktop crashed this morning so I can't upload pics from my camera and edit them...Will post as soon as I fix it.

That's what the app is for - post those bad boys up! Looking forward to seeing them whenever you're able [emoji106]

haha, I'm a bit of a photographer so I tend to want nice edited shots.

 

We'll see how long I am down for first!

Anyone know if the tpms sensors off 2013 model gmc /Chevy trucks work on 14/15 because I got a bunch of them... I hope so..

275/55/20 Michelin LTX A/T 2

OE Wheels 20x9 oem offset black CK156 replicas (in 20 instead of 22)

http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/Wheels-for-Chevy-Trucks/20-Fits-GMC-Sierra-Wheels-Matte-Black-20x9-SET

 

Going to swap to black McGard lugs when they arrive from Amazon. Also added a dual wall Gibson 4" black ceramic coated exhaust tip to set off the wheels. I love silver-the truck is dirty in these pics-drove through a rain storm with Cquartz on.

 

 

Sorry to quote myself, but I wanted to provide some feedback. I had a vibration so I took the truck to a better shop today with a Hunter road force balancer. They found one wheel is bent (note no shipping damage) and another they could not get a good road force balance on and it wasn't the Michelin's. I would advise staying away from cheap reporductions. OE Wheels is going to send me two replacement wheels in exchange, but I've had it and am going to sell them on craigslist when I get the replacements. I'll get more money that way versus having to pay for shipping. For anyone unfamiliar OE Wheels makes almost all the GM reproductions wheels on ebay. Sh!t happens, but the wheels left their factory this way.

 

On the bright side I installed a level kit in the front, got the truck aligned and truck looks much better! It just sucks waiting on wheels again.

 

I just ordered some genuine 20" GM CK106 wheels in black like LTZTom and should have them this week. I'm going with black center caps. :)

Cjlet, looks great! What offset are these? Thanks!!

+12 offset. Had to zip tie the liner back in the drivers side and adjusted my Coilovers up about .25" to get rid of the rub at full lock. Also replaced the stick rear block with a 2" block.

Dam dude that sucks! I had been looking at these exact wheels for a while too. The new wheels will look great though!

Sorry to hear that! I have crazy vibration and I'm honestly starting to wonder if it's my all terrain rims. They vibrated with the SRA's I had them balanced again under warranty and the same vibration at highway speeds.

 

When I put on my winter rims and tires, truck rides smooth. Now I put on these ko2's (they said they had a hard time getting one to balance) and the truck shakes like crazy over 60mph.

 

I'm giving a proper wheel balancing shop a call tomorrow to get to the bottom of this. Hopefully it's not the rims and the dealer was just incompetent. I already powder coated them!!

I may have just been unlucky, but two wheels and the fact I want to put a definite end to this on my 3rd trip to a tire shop has me going OEM/GM. At first I only notice it at certain speeds and on rough pavement so I attributed it to my sway bar and I softened the bar up. In fact both bad wheels were in the rear and the bar on it's stiffer setting was transmitting more road forces and vibration to the cab. The first place just spun balanced them and should've caught it. CK106 wheels were my #2 choice so this isn't all that bad.

 

After this experience I will never go to a place without a Hunter road force machine. Their website has a locator by address/zip code of shops equipped. I picked one with the new "touchscreen" model so I knew the machine was probably not abused yet.

 

What you might do is put the new wheels on your front axle bare and spin them and measure runout with a dial indicator in two directions-this would find a dimensional issue (maybe not a heavy spot though). If my lazy butt had done that I would've been ok.

 

Ok I know I'm long winded, but back in the day I used to autocross/open track a 4th gen f-body. I used a couple sets of OE Wheels ZR1 reproductions with decent results. The only thing was they were very heavy versus OEM GM wheels on the order of 7 lbs difference on 17's. I'm going to weigh these GM wheels versus the OE wheels (I know different style) and post results. I may run them with a dial indicator and post runout comparisons too if anyone is curious. I have a feeling the GM wheels will be much lighter and more accurate.

Thanks for the feedback. I ordered a set of 0 offset wheels on Friday. They were supposed to be on backorder and not ship until 10/30 so I figured I had plenty of time to figure things out. Well they showed up yesterday so now I'm trying to figure out how much they might rub.

 

Are you running a leveling kit or the bilsteins? If so how much front lift do you have? I have the 2" front rc leveling kit which I'm sure I'm going to have to add the other half if I do t want it to rub. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm running Fox 2.0 coil overs at about 2.25" and Fox 2.0 on the rear. Hope it helps!

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
