Thoughts on new wheels?

Chad2815 · March 7, 2015

I am trying to find a good deal on the OEM hyper silver wheels, I think they are CK 136? The wheels that come on the Tahoes and some Silverados. The OE wheel website has some but they have chrome inserts and we all know there is enough chrome on these trucks already. Figured I would ask you guys in case you knew of a better site, GM has them listed at 430 a piece and that's not gonna happen, I have a buyer for my stock ones. Did anyone upgrade to these and notice a difference in ride quality and did you have to re calibrate your speedo? I have the 20s now, it's just chrome overload for me. Thanks in advance for the help. Below is a pic of the wheels I am looking for. If anyone has bought the replicas I would appreciate an image of them on their truck.

I can't help, but my local dealer had a new pearl white denali yukon with those wheels and they looked awesome on it. Totally made the vehicle! Good choice

I've been wanting those so bad in gmc 22 but price isn't on my good side yet I might consider replicas in the near future

Yeah Shopgmaccessories.com has them for 369, I may just go that route but it's still a lot of cash.

OK these are $1125 free shipping on eBay. That's $280 per wheel. They do have the chrome inserts but I'll bet they can be easily removed.

By looking at the pic Luster posted, The chrome inserts have to be attached by double sides tape. the inserts show 2 bolts for each insert which is what I thought held them on untiI saw the pic without the inserts. So only way they're attached is tape so it wouldn't be much harder to take them off that it would be to take off badges or molding.

Of course if you can find a set without them then that's less work and time, but if you can find them cheap then taking the insets off would be worth the money saved in my opinion. Would also take a lot less time if you have a heat gun.

They do look better without the chrome inserts, but it makes me wonder how they would look if the inserts were color matched. Just a thought.

I didnt know they were stuck on there, I thought about just removing them as well.mthanks fornthe research those were the wheels I was looking at, I don't know what it is but I really dislike the factory 20s.

hurricanoday · March 7, 2015

no way those are stuck on there with tape, there are 2 different kind of wheels ck163 and ck164. One has the insert and one doesn't, the oem wheel has the black insert that is held on by the screws. 19301164 is the gm part number

Chad2815 · March 7, 2015

Yeah that's what I was afraid of.

Oewheels has several designs for these with different colored inserts.

I recall the salesman telling me about how flexible they were and mentioned "mix and match" about the inserts.

It LOOKS like they have little bolts holding them in. If that's the case you could remove them easily and have them colormatched.

I'd say give oewheels a call and see what they can do. I've got a set of their replica 20s waiting on tires to go on my truck now.

OK here's a link to OEWheelsLLC. They have lots of 22" styles of that wheel and others at good prices ranging from $676 to $1136 per set of 4.

I'm diggin this combo with the chrome inserts but wouldn't buying the gmc cap or Chevy cap make it look completely OEM lookin with the exception of the chrome inserts.

darkfox1 · March 7, 2015

Just ask before doing that. The 20" replicas have center caps that wont match the OE GM 20s caps.

The alternative would be to get a good bowtie or GMC decal and put on the cap. A lot of folks that sell these replicas will do that for you. OEwheels doesn't seem to. I would have already had mine done except I dont know if I can find a decal that will be tough enough to stand up to the road abuse a rim takes.

for the curious ^
