Ok, i just got a 07 Silverado crew cab, its a bad ass truck, I love it! I have 245's tires and 17'' chrome rims. I am thinking about getting new wheels, would like to get 17's so i won't have to get new tires. Where can I get some nice black 17'' wheels for around $400 or $500? or should I paint my wheels black?

 

heres a pic of my truck

I would run a quick photoshop before you paint your rims. See if you reallly like it or not.

You have stock 17 inch rims, no new Silverados come with rims smaller than 17 inches. If you buy the 17 inch rims they're selling here, make sure to get better and wider tires. The General tires suck, I had them on my 2006 and they were completely wasted at 20,000 miles. Any rims bigger than 17 inches will fit your truck, don't buy 16 inch rims or smaller because they will not fit your truck.

Crager Soft 8's. They run about 50 bucks apiece. I'm not sure if I want these or some American Racings in the teflon finish.

 

I have both. The soft 8's are basically the same as what you already have, but black. I use them as "steelies" because we run winter tires up here 4-5 months of the year, and I keep my winter tires mounted. And these are 50 bucks apiece but then you have to spring for the center caps which are another 12 bucks each.

You can buy them on summitracing.com but why would you want to, your wheels are just fine.

 

In the summers I run American Racing Victor teflons. They are nice but I think a stock 265 tire would look skinny on them. You need a 285 tire. Plus the Victors were about $200 apiece, plus then you have to buy tires.post-17188-1203563236_thumb.jpg

 

Stick with what you have got, until your budget allows you to go bigger and better, would be my advice.

IMO don't paint the stock steel wheels black. It will look like you're driving around with 4 spares on. :rolleyes:

 

This oughta make you hurl then. :cheers: But it makes me feel secure - if I get a flat I have 4 spares!

Those wheels look a lot better than the stock ones. They have a little bit of a lip on them, and don't look at all cheap like the stock ones do. The larger tires also help too.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
