Ordered a set of GMC 22” wheels in gloss black to replace my stock 22” Ultimate package ones. Looks good (to me). Also ordered the black badge/emblem kits for the front/back/sides and the black mirror caps, waiting for all of those to arrive. Will maybe black out by wrapping the side chrome strip and the roof rails and want to do the black grill/surround as well. Front side window tint to match the rear as well.

Will clean up my stock wheels and list for sale shortly.

Nice! I think once you have all the other chrome stuff deleted to black it will tie everything in perfectly. But until then, i personally like the overall look with original wheels better. But, everyone has that…boring….get the rest of that thing blacked out and report back!

Nice. I got the same gloss black 22” for my Premier. I also did a separate order of the red raised center caps. Black but bow tie logo is red….just enough contrast to know it’s a logo but rest of the gloss black theme blends in well with my Midnight Boue paint.

Nice! I debated on the red logo center caps. Have any pics of yours?

Those are a brand new wheel, I was looking at them for my 2008. Could you post some more pictures in the sunlight?

Here is the same picture but played with the lighting to help see the wheels a little better….

I’ll take some more pics when I can get them cleaned up. Got a little muddy this weekend getting a Christmas tree :)

Plus they could’ve save them self a ton of money just by having the stock ones powder coated gloss black. If you want black wheels, this is the cheapest way to do it and still looks super sharp.

I didn’t like the design of the original wheels so didn’t go that route but was considered. With the 25% off coupon, price wasn’t so bad on the set of 4, then offset with selling the stock ones eventually, price I was willing to pay I guess.

Are those the OEM rails on top? They look lower profile than most of the ones I've seen.

The left side profile and left oblique photos are the first day with new tires and after running through the rain locker.. The right oblique is yesterday.

I like that, red gives just a little pop to break up the wheel a little.

List the wheels on the truck forum as well. I just picked up a set of take offs and ended up just putting them on my Denali. They look great under the pickups
