The first picture is anthracite gray with black centers. 5 coats, no clear. I liked this color when the sun hit them they really popped. In the shade or cloudy days they looked black.

I removed the wheels on both jobs, taped the tires, cleaned wheels really good with degreaser and alcohol. 1st coat covers 25%, 2nd coat covers 50%, 3rd coat covers 75%, coats 4 & 5 go on heavy. Opinions welcome.

The second picture is, well, white with black centers. Always wondered what white wheels would look like.

The first one for sure. Hope I'm not alone but I don't like the white wheels at all.

No worries, your not alone. Everyone likes darker wheels. I was just thinking outside the box with color match. The good news with plastidip is it can be changed this weekend.

If I had to pick, I would go with the darker color wheel. Dark wheels with a lighter color center cap maybe? The lighter center cap would compliment the white lettering on the sidewalls.

Never thought of the lighter center cap. I saw this wheel and tried to copy it. Its not the same w/out the bead. Anza_GreyHoopBLK_A1-500-Cloned4153572299

I think the gray with black centers looks good. What about all gray? It would be interesting to see the mono-colored wheel with the chrome lug nuts.

 

Nice job.

The darker color looks great!

I can't allow myself to like the white wheels! lol

I couldn't either...until I tried them. In my town you just blend in with dark/black wheels. I'm looking for something different. I'll bet the first time someone tried black wheels there was some who thought why? Now its become the normal.

This was the premium wheel of choice back in the 70's & 80's. You know how things always make a return.....

      Is 2027 GMC Yukon Getting a 682-HP Supercharged V8?

      By CaptPat51 · Posted

      Would you supercharge the 6.2L on a 2021 GMC Yukon Denali XL with ProCharger?.... 605HP is the stated number without going crazy - it's not the LT4 682HP package, but I'm tempted to install it... This vehicle was ... not... recalled on the engine swap - but I don't really know if that means ...don't do it... or do it;)    Maybe i should start a prediction market pool on it in case it blows up;)   Any thoughts appreciated - I already OWN the supercharger - stopped the installation when the recall was announced and now it's taking up space in storage until I can solve an electrical issue with the vehicle...  4th GMC suburban-equivalent truck - I like them a lot - when they don't a) discharge their batteries randomly, or b) throw a rod at highway speeds;)

      2021 Yukon Electrical Issues

      By CaptPat51 · Posted

      We tested the sleep mode with an ammeter in series with the negative battery terminal - 30amp fused - so we do know the actual shutdown and non-shutdown current draws and timing of the shutdown sequence.  We just have no protocol information to determine what module is issuing the network keep alive.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      TrueBlue...Even if you don't have that info stuff displayed, If Mr. Computer thinks there's something you should know about, it will pop up a warning message no matter what else is being displayed. I keep the speedometer displayed all the time, yet the brake pad message pops up anyway.

      BTW, the 11.5amp draw is all the usual systems active - it's not a single draw - that's the "we're all awake" state of the vehicle - forinstance if the power steps are actuated, the draw will spike to 22amps for that operation.  when the battery is disconnected and then reconnected, the vehicle shuts down that one time only - and we see a 10-15minute progression down 11.5  10.5  9. 8 6. 5. 1.6... 500ma... and then off to sleep at 40 milliamp... as expected.  So we know it's a module that is simply refusing to allow the SDGM to proceed to the sleep state.  We do NOT think it is the telematics VIM module - since we already duplicated the problem with the "VIM bypass" solution installed (we reverted that since it also disables the gmc app - but it does not appear that the telematics system is the culprit).  We've replaced the rear heater control module, tested without the wireless charger, and the other modules on CAN Bus 5 - but still something is keeping us awake and removing X2 from SDGM allows sleep to proceed.  We cannot diagnose from OBD since OBD drops off at about the 9volt level in sleep mode and we can't communicate with the vehicle - also we can't trace the SDGM internal packets from the OBD side - we have Autel Ultra.   Any ideas on why disconnecting X2 would allow sleep to proceed appreciated.  This is no longer a repair situation - this vehicie is simply unusable in this condition and NOBODY at GMC Dealer can even understand what it is doing.  This is crazy.  We made these systems too complex and now we're paying the price.
