Hello Everyone!

Need advice..... Which color wheels would look Elegant on a 2019 GMC sierra SLT crew cab? It has the factory 20" polished wheels. I removed the ,sierra,GMC,SLT badges. I am going to wrap the bumpers, part of the front grill, door handles, mirror caps and the Texas Edition front fender emblems in black. I am also having the plastic fender trim painted black.

For now I want a two inch drop on rear. I want to go with 22"×9" wheels all around.

I like the polish look on the current 20". I want the truck to look Classy!

I was thinking of white Wheels.

I have plans to customize the truck by this summer but for now I don't want to mess with the suspension since I want to be able to drive my truck.

Any thoughts on white wheels on a black truck?

Thanks

Well it’s certainly not for me, I wouldn’t consider that “classy” at all. I would assume most wouldn’t like it just based of the fact that you don’t see many white truck wheels for sale or on trucks. It’s obviously not “in” or popular.

 

What matters though is whether or not YOU like it.

Slt here with painted to match bumpers, Denali grill and front bumper chrome trim. I personally think chrome looks great on these trucks! I still want a set of 23 Denali ultimate wheels for winters instead of the ugly factory polished

White wheels aren't all they're cut out to be. I bought a set of white 97 SS Camaro wheels for my 02 Black Camaro SS to use as drag wheels. They stand out but not really what I was hoping it would look like.

Elegant and classy then wrap everything in black? Yeah, you missed that boat...

 

Do what you think looks best, not what others say. If you really just want to follow what the crowd says, put up a vote and just pick what most people say you should; problem solved.

 

Never understood these threads asking others what you should do, I do what I think is/looks best. Current in trend is blacked out with black wheels, so that is what most will say this time.

White Wagon Wheels were actually pretty standard but we're going way, way back to 70's - 80's timeframe.

The answer is Chrome.

I couldn't imagine black or white wheels on my High Country. Ish.

I'd somewhat disagree with that. Black has run its course.  Many are taking black wheels off and going chrome.  I see it often.  I don't think black is classy.  Looks too "rattle can" and commercial looking.  To each his own though.  Just my opinion.  It's all according to what one likes 😜.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and maybe memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
