Okay. Pick out some wheels for my truck. I've looked at so many I don't know what to do

Everyone is doing black wheels these days. I'm an old guy and have always done chrome. So I'm down to either Hostile switchblade in chrome or Hostile sprocket in black and machined. Someone please make the choice. I'm tired of thinking about it.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

 

Looking to upgrade my 18" OEM's with 22" SEY's. I'm really focused on how the tire will look when its mounted. There's a certain look I like, and a certain look I don't like. I don't like how the factory tire looks. I've seen someone post some pages ago that had the Cooper Zeon LTZ's. That is the tire I'm looking for. I believe they were listed in the pic as being a 305/40/22. I think I'm going to stick with a 285/45, however when I look at Cooper's website I don't see that they make the Zeon LTZ's in a 22. I'm hoping that someone will say "you didn't look at the right spot, they make them and here they are", hence the reason for my post.

 

Anyone have any insight maybe or if not, maybe a mfg. that has a very similar style to the Zeon LTZ. Thanks!

 

EDIT: So some internet searching and I found them available in the 305/40/22. Issue I would see is they recommend a 10" rim width and the OEM's only come in a 9" that I've been able to find.

 

 

WELCOME.

These are the two he's looking at. I also was considering the Switchblade. I was starting to think I was the only guy here who preferred chrome.

I'm considering these Denali 20" now since they're cheaper than after market and chrome.

Barely rubs the plastic on the back side of the fender, minor trimming will do the trick.

Thanks guys. I'm actually considering the black and machined Hostile sprockets. The chrome switchblade is really nice. Thanks for putting that picture up. I'll post a picture of the sprocket shortly

Thanks for posting the picture. I'm an old guy... so I guess thats why I've always been partial to chrome. But since my truck has the black front end I'm not sure which way to go. When I was a kid, if you had black wheels it was because you could not afford hubcaps.. or somebody stole them

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
