I need some assistance here. I am in a great debate with myself on which wheels to go with. They will be going on a black 2019 Silverado. Let me share with you my thought process....

 

A. Do I go with the Fuel Hostage D625 wheel as I do like a deep lip and I was thinking gloss black would look great with a black truck (Picture #2)

 

OR

 

B. Do I go with the Fuel Vapor D560 which has no lip but #SierraDan posted Rough Country’s new video and the Silverado has these and looks clean. (Picture #1)

 

 

Thank you for your assistance fellow members

Fuel Vapor is my vote.

Its a meaner looking wheel and the silver bolts around the center

Will make it pop just a bit more snd add contrast

:cheers:

What 2019 Silverado are you looking at? Ltz, Rst, High country?

The Vapors would look good with Ridge Grappler tires :thumbs:

Of the two you posted, I also like the Vapor wheels.  Not to complicate matters but I'm running Fuel Krank wheels on my black 2017 and I'm very happy with the look.  They're similar to the Hostage wheels but with a few brushed aluminum accents.  I like the deep lip, too, as you mentioned.

Going with the LTZ Dan.

 

1 thought I was rolling around in my head was to do a gloss black powder coat on the front & rear bumpers but once I showed my wife the Rough Country video she said she liked the chrome bumpers.... anyways I am getting off track from the wheel conversation.

 

My only setback of the Vapors is that they were matte black instead of a gloss black.  What are y’all thoughts on matte black vs gloss black?

Is it possible to have them clear coated by a professional in a gloss or semi gloss finish to give you the shine you want?

Wheel guys, please advise! :thumbs:

I do not like matte black wheels on a black truck. I would go with the gloss for sure.

But that partially depends on if you keep them nice and clean. If not then it doesn't matter.

Between the two, I would vote for the hostage for sure, for the reasons you mentioned.  Gloss finish, and nice lip.

You have great taste, imo!  My preference even over these would be the oem options.  Op mentioned chrome bumpers which speak nicely to chrome or polished wheels.

Aside from the RC truck pictured above with the Fuel Vapor wheels, here are two more images.

One of the Fuel Vapor and one of the RBP mentioned above. My vote still goes for the Fuel Vapor!

      By Sdid · Posted

Put in neutral step on gas little shake then put in gear and gose.  Shut truck off start .. ok now at stop light stop truck after a few seconds feel a little kick if that doesn’t happen stuck in 3/4 gear shut truck off wait few seconds and start usually ok again. If you down shift manually ok as long as you get into 1st before stop. If not it kicks . I WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION. Now I want a new truck it just hit 80,000 IDK IF ILL BUY CHEVY CAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO RECALL . Oh I’ve changed the fluid and filter 3 times now. And yes used mobile 1 not ac/delco cause it’s not meeting the requirements that mobile is did use ac/delco filter

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
