Got me a 2015 2500HD Work truck.

 

was going to buy some 33” MT tires with 20” wheels. However the truck got brand new 33” AT tires a couple weeks before I purchased it, so considering running those tires for awhile.

 

so to my question, has anyone painted there 18” work truck wheels and have a picture they can share? I’ve looked all over and can’t find any pics.

 

if I paint them, was going to paint them black, and leave the center cap alone.

 

heres a current pic:

I didn't know WT trim came in a four door.  Have a feeling that they will do away with the regular cabs at some point down the road.

 

any way, if I were you I'd buy plasti dip spray paint.  I've got the 17" aluminum wheels and im going to plasti dip them until I find an aftermarket wheel I like.

It’s the extended cab or what ever Chevy calls it.

 

ive done plasti dip and spray paint before. If I’m taking the wheels and going threw the effort would rather do spray paint honestly.

I agree.  Plasti-dip it then if you change your mind it’s easy to start over.

Your truck looks excellent the way it is and painting the wheels would not serve to enhance the appearance, imo.   If you don't like these wheels, sell them and buy a set of take-offs.  My local dealership has a few 8 lug aluminum wheel sets for sale.  The steel wheels are very popular for winter use and would sell better in original condition.

I've seen that wheel painted black before on a truck, with the cap left silver, but I don't have any pictures.  Looked good though for sure.

I realize this is an old thread AND my wheel is a different style. However it is a painted (powder coated) OEM wheel that could give folks an idea of what it’ll look like.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      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."
