I live in southern California. It is the birthplace of most vehicle fads. Aftermarket accessorized vehicles are as common as toenail fungus. We all follow fads. Some more than others. It's all personal taste evolved thru emersion in the fads, in the end, especially with something as ubiquitous as a car/truck wheel. Most things related to styles that are retailed are all about fads. Wheels very much included. I've seen wheel fads come and go over the last 4-5 decades and have my personal taste pretty well established. I just can't get into black. It just looks ... blaaah-k to me.

 

 

 

Got it. But, I don't like the ghetto look of 20's on a 4x4. These are my choice for my ride.

 

Im not a black wheel guy but if anythings "ghetto" its fake bead locks, lol.

i like them. im the kind of person who thinks after market rims look stupid, but i got some 22's from the dealer that i totally love, and those look pretty good compared to your stock ones. i think a white truck needs some black to offset it some and make it stand out, just like a black truck needs some chrome to bring other elements to its color. i think thats why my black looks so good with the big 22's.

Looks good Spurshot....I like them.

 

I bet that truck rides nice with that extra sidewall on the tires and those King shocks. Enjoy!

I like them; it looks like they did a great job with the chroming process. I know you were toying with the idea of coloring the beadlock ring. What about just coloring the bolt heads for a subtle look? If you don't like them you could always change them.

I like em, I also am not a black wheel fan (There are a few on high performance cars I like), but other than that it looks like people are rollin around on steelie snow wheels all year esp if they are matte black, my opinion, different strokes for different folks. You'll have to post pics with them on the truck, i think they'll look really good.

Great choice Spurshot. What are the wheel specs? Are they going to stay tucked in there or stick out a little?

The wheels look great all chrome. I am also not a fan of all black wheels. But since you are looking at the beadlock rings for the wheels I would think the only way it will look right is if they were either black, gunmetal gray, or chrome. Any other color will not look right IMO.

have you looked into plastidp?

 

ive used it a little but most the parts i did in it i ended up swapping out for something different anyway. but it turns out really good, they have gloss and metallic colours now, you can buy all chrome and blast the lip of the rim in white then in a few months peel it off and run full chrome.

 

im going to plastidip my bumpers in black this summer, and if i dont pick new runningboards ill just black those out too.

 

personally, im a big fan of the murdered out look.

 

check out this stie for the colour options, if i would have kept that cts longer i was going to do the lip on the rims white.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
