Why yes, yes they are!  I like the OEM style, but not really most of the Chevy wheels. I do like the GMC, so I got some take offs from a Yukon owner who was getting spinners.

I hate black rims, and I have the same rims on my GMC so I prefer the "now" look!     Would like to see some more angles as that's probably my next tire + size.

Yep I don't do chrome either hence the first thing removed from my truck was the factory chrome 20's  I tried black, but just wasn't liking it.  

 

Looking to de-chrome my LTZ all together eventually.... but that's probably played out, too :)

 

I like billet/machined wheels. I think the machined Method Standards look amazing as do the Forged Innov8's and I would have switched to those had I not got a smoking deal on these OEM GMC wheels. I like those dark grey z71 Tahoe wheels too.

At least you can see detail in chrome rims.    To each their own, but every black rim looks the same to me especially 50' away or more.   They look especially hideous on a white truck.    When someone spends bank on rims and is excited about their new look, all I can muster is "that's nice".

my response was in the comment that black rims were 'WAY overplayed'  which is a joke compared to chrome.  I didn't say black or chrome was better or worse...you are entitled to your opinion...but 'WAY overplayed' should be used for chrome not black rims...

 

usually when i go to car shows, i like to stand about 50' away and admire the vehicles.  hahahaah!

285/65r18 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws mounted today on my stockers.   Got a huge thorn in the sidewall of my Nittos so it forced my hand last night into getting some tires today.   

 

They look AMAZING and there is some room in there for 295/65s (maybe) but I wasn't willing to try 305/65s in Falkens.

 

$1321 out the door w/ road force.

 

The Nitto TG G2s are 275/65r18 and are not LT tires and have about 45K miles on them.  The Falkens are 32" tall even mounted on the truck.    Didn't gain a helluva lot in size when they are sitting side by side, but the "WOW" factor is night and day.   Falkens a little noiser and stiffer riding than the Nittos, but not unpleasant.

 

RCX 2.5 level in front.  Rear 2" blocks + Firestone RideRite Airbags

Any level? Been thinking about getting a set of these for summer but after leveling my last truck I decided to keep mine stock and saw these tires in this size run bigger than usual I run 275/70 no issues

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Not sure if this is where I should post a question however I am wondering do you have to cut the studs on a 1 inch or 2 inch spacer on a 3/4 ton Sierra 8 lug? I want to add a spacer to my wheels for a better offset but I really don't want to get involved in cutting the factory studs. Any help would be appreciated and forgive me if this is not posted in the proper section :-)

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
