2016 Silverado 1500 LT - Totaled - 2nd TRUCK!

Thanks Eddie! Yea, I went with Stock GM wheels and they really keep things clean and still look cool. Those are Chevy Center caps all blacked out. I want the bowtie in the center to be silver... so I'm working on that! ;)

Where did you buy the wheels at? Those aren't OEM wheels, definitely OE. They do match the truck perfect imo.

I got the wheels at my Chevy Dealer custom shop.... they are like the GMC Sierra 2014/2015 wheels.

I already want to change out or modify the center caps. Those are the Chevy GM black center caps... I want the bowtie silver as it would REALLY set it off much nicer. However, they don't "make" them, so it looks like I'm going to have to modify them. I've read a number of ways and Have ordered some of that silver "wrap" material... we will see what happens. My last resort is to take them off and paint / fill the center with the color matched paint!

 

There are also plastic china caps you can find, but those make me a bit nervous as I don't want them to look cheap and like they are plastic china caps!

 

Thoughts? Ideas?

They are replica wheels. The OEM's are charcoal, and have a slightly larger center cap. I ran a set on my '13 Sierra. They are every bit as good as the GM wheels from my experience.

GM sells 83MM caps that directly fit most of the replica wheels.

These are an example:

this is what I have on there now.... http://www.cjponyparts.com/general-motors-wheel-center-cap-gloss-black-with-black-bowtie-logo-chevrolet-silverado-2016-2017/p/19333202/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw0K7NBRC7ARIsAEaqLRHjBujtKMRT9gaP7SDsSLBvwDz9MwFGXU8GKtk4OCbbDiQM6d_fc4saAmLqEALw_wcB

 

I have seen those black/chrome ones...they look cheap even in the picture... I like the "quality" look of the GM center caps I have on there. I just want the bowtie filled silver. They make one for the camero but I don't think it will fit my wheels.

[MRob]

OK... so I found a Camaro in a parking lot. No way will those fit! Camaro's are much smaller in diameter... so, its on with the modification. Pics to come!

Hey guys! Ok... here we go! I finally got some shots... This is how I got her from the dealer as described above!

 

I have to say, the ride and the drive is AMAZING! Wow! It REALLY rides and drives so smooth! Like a "new" truck SHOULD ride and drive. It's impressive to me how much the lift on the other truck REALLY changed this! I'm SO glad (at my age/time in life that I ONLY leveled it)

 

I will make minor cosmetic changes and will post pics as I do that... it's a sweet truck and I love it!

Whoa those hub caps are really nice looking! Is there any way you could get me a part number or maybe a link to them if possible? I bought some black center caps from GmPartsDirect.com but they were all black and match my truck perfectly but I’d prefer the bow tie to be outlined with the chrome and if possible, have the center to be gold like my bow ties on my truck. Nice truck btw, glad you’re okay after what happened to the other truck ?

I just Totaled my beautiful 2016 silverado today. Yes, it was a BEAUTIFUL awesome looking truck!! I put a lot of work and a lot of $$ into many many nice upgrades and features to this truck and had just gotten it to where I wanted it. And all for WHAT? All for this CRASH! Gone!

 

All for pretty much nothing... the insurance company and all that will NOT care about the lift, tires, wheels, Exhaust, upgrades, flares, running boards, blacked out emblems, interior work etc. It makes me sick to my stomach. They may help a LITTLE, but not near what all I put into it. But it is what it is.

 

I WILL say, however that as I am a bit older now... the road noise from the tires coupled with the exhaust was getting to me a bit. Not to mention that the "ride" is not as smooth as I would like it now. I get into this new rental truck and it rides SO nice compared to my truck. It's cool and it sounds bad ass and looks awesome, but I don't think I'm going to do all of that again.

 

I want a nice CLEAN look on the next truck. I'm thinking just do a level, upgrade to a LITTLE bit beefier/wider/bigger tires, leave the stock wheels alone... no exhaust... black out the emblems (inexpensive, fun to do and it looks really cool to me). Running boards already on it... and be done! No color matched flares or any of that mess, that shit just gets scratched up anyway.... ugh!

 

I'm thinking this will keep it clean, the "ride" will be nice and not jacked with, my gas milage should stay near where it was designed to be, speedometer is not jacked with, and I can hear myself THINK while driving . Also, settle for no less than a Bose or good system in it and I"m done!

 

Any ideas? Thoughts? Tire suggestions going this route?

That sucks man.   When I had an accident with a modified truck which was aftermarket fender flares my insurance said just buy new flares and that will be your $500 deductible which I only had to buy the front pair.  By the way what wheels do you have.
