I finally get to post on this thread after having my 2016 Yukon XL Denali for a little over 1 year. I wanted to get some new wheels to change out my 20” stock wheels and was prompted to change them out sooner due to the fact that the crappy Continentals got ridiculously worn out at about 20K miles. They tell me this is normal for the soft rubber and desert conditions. I’ve included some before and after picture and you guys can tell me if the wear on the Continentals looks normal for 20K miles. Anyways, swapped them our with 22” OE Wheels replicas of the newer style Denali’s and got Bridgestone to go with them. Also changed out the center caps with OE GMC black center caps. I really liked how it came out. I think the 22” is the right size for this SUV. I had also changed out the fog lights, reverse lights and license plate lights with VLEDs. Small changes but made a big difference. Now just temped to black out some of the chrome but don’t know which to try first.View attachment 190296 View attachment 190297View attachment 190298View attachment 190302View attachment 190303

Unfortunately, we do keep it parked outside and in the So.Cal desert were it gets up to 120 degrees in the summer. But my other vehicles tires don't wear out that fast. I hope the Bridgestones wear better.Wow, I've never see a tire degrade like that. Was the SUV parked outside in the heat? You must live where it gets hot.
I got the bulbs from VLEDs.com License Plate: 5K LED 194, Reverse light: 5K LED 921, and Fog lights: 5K LED P13W. I went with the 5K instead of 6K because I don't like the blue-white of the 6K.Like the new wheels a lot...which led bulbs did you use in the foglight,reverse and license plates?
Bought a color matched grill. Body shop next week for the headlight eyebrows to be color matched.
Also, rear 2” lowering springs. Found a set of OEM 22”s that I will be PC black.[/QUOTE
Where did you get your color matched grill? I am considering just having it all sprayed since i would have to do the eyebrows anyway but want to compare prices for both.

Dealer. Cheaper, trust me. $412 for an OEM look. The inserts are gloss black. No faded plastic.
It is a complete OEM grill painted to match from the factory. They would only have the colors that the new RST has out on the lot. It is the same grille that the 2018's have.Are you saying you bought an OEM black grill or had a chrome one painted at the dealer?

What grill is that, kind of looks OEM. If so, how did you paint it??
It's a Putco, but I have no idea on the series.. I'll see if my ex wife remembers...Is this the stock Denali grill with the GMC logo removed and painted black? Looks clean, I like it.
