Wheel style


Recommended Posts

Posted

Does anyone else here feel that it is time for a new wheel design? At least have a better selection in the wheel option department. I say GM needs to get a contract with some of these aftermarket people like Weld Wheels and let them make available to us when we order a truck to be able to upgrade to a specific design.

 

Anyone else have any ideas?

With the little tires that come one them they don't look that great, but with a nice set of tires they are the best looking wheels you can get from the factory. Atleast I think so.

I kind of like the steel wheels, but the aluminum ones are getting kind of old. Honestly I never really liked the alunimum wheels on the Silverado. The ones on the GMCs look OK though. I think they should join up with Weld or a similar company kind of like Ford has done with Alcoa. Considering the number of GM trucks with aftermarket wheels I see, it could be very profitable for both companies.

I really like the stock aluminum rims that came on my 03 2500 HD. Like someone else pointed out they are easy to clean and I thinl they look really sharp I do think they could be a little wider to accomodate the 285s.

Actually, the wheel contracts are with many of the major wheel maufacturers out there. Just most of the time, the wheel manufacturer does not put their own names on them. The only problem with too many variations is that the volumes are split between all the different styles offered. This drive the cost of the wheels up and ultimately less profit.

I like the stock aluminum wheels. It doesn't get much easier than cleaning a clearcoated aluminum wheel. :thumbs:

 

If and when I ever change my wheels, I'm going with some American Racing Outlaw II's. I've always liked those wheels on a truck. My wife calls them "old man wheels". :thumbs::thumbs:

Im kinda partial to the Xtreme rims on my 03 Xtreme. I think the stockers look nice enought though. My problem with some of the aftermarket companies is that they have too many "Bling bling" designs out there. Most of them are gaudy and overpriced. Take the Jesse James designed rims for instance, IMHO they all look like garbage and they are waaaaaay overpriced.

 

 

Personally Im wishing GM would change the dash layouts in their fullsize trucks first, they are a lil too, well Blaaaaaaa. Need some sprucing up. Perhaps make a bigger version of the current S-10 dash, I love that one.

    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
    • Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."    
    • Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.  
    • Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
