Just bought an OEM set of Siverado SS wheels

[Danzigman]

I found a eBay seller that that specializes in OEM wheel refinishing that had a complete set. They will be refinished to look like new shipped to me for $610. I was nervous about the quality of the non-OEM wheels so I thought the real deal would be the best bet. These are the SS non-polished wheels.

I have a couple of questions though...

I search of eBay only turns up chrome oem centers. Did these wheels come with chrome or silver centers?

Since I plan on keeping the Z71 wheels for later when/if I resale the truck I need to get a new set of TPM's for the new wheels. What should I look for when purchasing new tpm's? Anyone have a source?

It will be a while until I get tires and put the wheels on the truck, I just thought this was a good deal as individual oem wheels seem to sale for $250-$300 each. What do you guys think?

Sounds like a good deal to me. I have a set on my tahoe so I know that the silver ones have a silver centercap with a chrome circle in the middle. I can't help you on the tpms though because I need some myself.

Not to bad of a deal. You will have another $100 or so in caps and you may have to buy lugnuts. I Did but mine are replicas.
The cap will be silver with a shiny middle piece.

You can find correct tpms sensors on eBay.

Thanks for the info! I can't seem to find the correct center caps on eBay. Is there a procedure to make the tpms function or it it just install and go.

How much will the speedo be off? I have stock z71 wheels know. 17 inch I believe. I plan on a set of wheel locks. What type lug nuts will I need?

Post up a pic of the wheels, I'm sure there are center caps out there in Ebay land!!

 

[Danzigman]

I will post pics once the wheels arrive!

Well, if you find pics of the rims that you are buying online anywhere, post them up!! Also, check out this Ebay seller, he has lots of center caps!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/350205192510?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I bought my friends tpm sensors on eBay from a seller named tpmstech. He sells a 4 pack but it's cheaper to buy them off of an individual listing and change the purchase quantity to 4. They are dorman sensors, same as you would buy from advance or autozone. Here's a link to a listing. He sells them for $24.99 each with $8 shipping. I made a "best offer " of $20 each if I buy 4 and he took it. So my friend only has $88 in all 4 of his

Michael, it looks like he is out of them at the moment I will have to watch for him to place some more on eBay. Thanks for the tip!

 

[Rivieraracing]

Here's some plain chrome ones, could always hit him up to see what else he has for those wheels!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHEVY-SILVE...Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e504377e9

 

[Danzigman]

It looks like he only has the aftermarket center caps. I want to get the oem caps with the bowtie in the center. They are bound to show up on there, just have to look around. I found the wheels by locating the Hollander interchange number. It seems the SS in the listing boosts the price of the wheels.

Does anyone know the Chevy part number for the ss centers?

Sorry man, I guess I misunderstood!

Those are all chrome Chris. He is looking for silver. I did a quick search and found zero silver ones.

 

[2001tahoefuentes]

Ive tried just about everything to look for the silver ones for my ss rims but havent had no luck if you find some send me a pm if possible all 4 but if its only one ill take it

 

[Danzigman]

Yea, these seem to be all chrome. Looks like the market for the polished replicas has everyone selling the all chrome pieces. Damian I will let you know if I find a source.

 

[2001tahoefuentes]

Thanx jason i really appreciate your help

 

[Danzigman]

I have messaged all of the sellers above. None of them have them in silver. Anyone have the part number?

 

[Danzigman]

The wheels came in yesterday. They are nice refinished GM wheels. I am still looking for the OEM centers, and new tpm sensors. Plan to install them in the spring.
