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

 

Ok my mistake, Didn't know there were 2 different versions.

 

 

Personally other than looks, Chad mentioned something I didn't think about and I agree that I see dirt and even brake dust getting between the rims and the inserts and the only way to get between them would be to remove the inserts. What would also make that even harder would be that you'd probably have to use loctite to keep each bolt from working itself out. I believe it would be the blue one where you can still break the seal. I could be wrong on that though.

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.attachicon.gifimage.jpg

 

 

I upgraded to these. I found some takeoffs on craigslist for a good price. Ride quality hasn't changed on bit and the speedometer did not change since it is based on the wheel circumference. Let me know if you have any questions.

Yeah I am close to just getting those Bitcoin I would really like to find a deal on the GM set. These LTZs already have plenty of chrome one them. I guess I will justo stay patient and wait for a deal to come along.

I really like these CK 163 & 164 wheels in the standard silver. The wife wants black wheels on this truck and I think I do too so I have been trying to find pics of these in all black or black with chrome inserts. I don't think GM ever offered them in black but the reproduction market does, at least in the 20" version which is what I want. I've searched the net multiple times and have only found one crappy ebay picture of the black version actually mounted on a truck. Anybody know of any pics? Also interested in pics of the gunmetal version if anyone knows of any.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
