I am getting my rims powder coated this week I have the 2014 Sierra All Terrain 20" wheels, I was wondering if anyone has seen trucks with these wheels in matte black and gloss black I cant decide what way to go.

You could plasti dip them for cheap and if it didn't look right you can peel it off.

Did my 2007 20" wheels in satin black. They were getting kind of yellow and nasty. Drove through Michigan winters with it and they lasted very well.

I have my CTS V wheels powdercoated gloss black by Les Schwab and they look great. I plan on doing it again when I get my denali and order the 22in wheels.

 

I def wouldn't use plasti dip but that is me

I'm still trying to decide on new rims or doing something with my stock rims. Roughly how much would it cost to powder coat my 18s? I figure if I'm going to do something with them I might as well do something that will last better than just paint.

 

As for the question, I myself would get gloss which is what I would get for my black '14. Everything I've done on mine has been to gloss black so it all matches. I feel flat black would look out of place if everything else is gloss or chrome.

Get some black plastidip, they also make some glossifier stuff. It's supposed to give it the gloss look instead of matte look that plastidip has. I've never used it, but it would be worth a Google and also be a cheap way to see them in matte first and then Glossed to see what you prefer.

+1 for the pic request! I have an All Terrain ordered and have been thinking about getting the wheels powdercoated gloss black or a dark gunmetal/charcoal shade.

Here's HooWyBrow's powdercoated gloss black

 

what wheels are those, oem 22s? It looks great with the gloss powdercoat, but are the tires to big? Are those oem size, something just looks a little off to me. Might have to see it person

 

Agree def don't plasti dip on your new truck. The gloss looks nothing like powdercoat

I think his are 22s actually. But they look similar enough to the 20s to give a good idea

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
