I might down the road get some sick forged 3 piece rims, but for now I've narrowed it down to 4 choices:


Option 1: CK913s (photoshopped)

Option 2: TBSS chrome

Option 3: Esky platinum (not reps) with these caps (letters painted WTD)

I like all these wheels, but they all have their little drawbacks ... the 913s have a slight lip that might make them look smaller in RL, the TBSS reps might be too aggressive for a Denali, and the esky 22s, combined with my esky tail/3rd/applique conversion might make the truck look too much like an escalade wannabe.

Option 4: Keep the Denali 20s on and wrap 'em with Nitto 420s 305/50/20s.

Vote please. :)

Option 4. Keep what you got. They look fine. I don't think you're doing a significant upgrade with any of the ones you picked.

Just to be clear ... the ones I got on now are not the ones in my signature, I sold those today. Right now I have the stock Denali 20s on:

I cannot keep up with you :nono:

lol, it's not that hard ... the buyer who bought the HyHoe decided he wanted to upgrade to the CK375s, so I sold them to him and took the Denali 20s back.

I haven't bought new rims for almost a year. :shrug:

I didn't expect that he would come back and want the wheels :shrug:
Carry on and I voted.

Really ... first to put chrome tbss on a Denali?

That might be reason enough to do it. :)

That's the best thing about the tbss reps ... compared to the other rims, they are a lot less 'busy' and more clean looking. However they still are reps, and I worry a little about non oem chrome plating quality in the long run.

I vote for the oem esky platinum's with the red gmc logo center caps. I LOVE how it has the GMC in red and plus no one has ever put the platinums on a denali!!

These are tough choices but I think you should try the TBSS rep's in chrome. I think the NNBS trucks need 22" rims and therefore the stock 20's just aren't cutting for me+ everybody has them. With your unique tastes/personality I'm sure you would like to be different. The Esky ones are also nice but I'm sure there is quite a difference in price....The only drawback to the TBSS reps to me is they are more of a race/performance looking wheel whereas the Denali is classy and not so sporty......GL with your choice ;)

I wouldnt be too worried about that, i have been in the wheel business for about 11 years, i personally think oem chrome is the worst. I have seen more issues with oem over anything else. One of the reasons im not going with the ck375's on mine and i really like the look of that wheel. Who makes those tbss reps i could research them for ya and make a few phone calls if ya want. I say TBSS all the way it will look awesome!!

Dang i wanted to do the esky plat on mine but i guess you can...lol

I have always like the esky, the 913 i think are fugly. and im with you i dont like rep quality so out with the TBSS. I really do like our stock 20's, and i really did like your old wheels too.

Matt, there's no law that says two of us can't have the same rims. :)

Although there should be a law against everyone ruining 375s for me by making them m0ar common than slides ...

There, I said it!!!
