Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

These are cheap and plentiful. 20's. Picked up one set for 600 with decent tires and this set for 200 with crap tires.

Snowflakes would look good.

I just can't do anything that's not black, and I'm not going to try to paint or dip wheels. It never looks good for long IMO. My offer of $1000 for those snowflakes with nearly new tires was accepted, so even if it costs $200 for shipping it will still a great deal.

Hmmmm.. These are what I was looking at actually so I guess they're GMC reps? The center caps are plain, no logo.

This one

 

[Rocket Man]

The left one is satin snowflake the right is matte rep. I think I can get either finish on each rim. I like the snowflake in satin.

 

[Tonyrodz]

I like them all!!

 

[Rocket Man]

I want them to look nice, there's not much difference in price. I shot a PM to Tony aka @NORCAL SS to see if he can match prices but he hasn't got back to me yet. The ones for sale here on the forum the guy was quoted like $500 shipping for the tires and wheels but he's gonna look at other options. If it only costs me $300 more for brand new stuff in the style and color I want though, I'll go that route. I'm looking at $1600 for the satin snowflakes with Lexani 305/40 r22's mounted and balanced. And it looks like the gloss black reps from the forum member would be at least $1300 so I don't know. I don't really want gloss unless it's a killer deal.

Tony sells Factory Reproductions rims only for the most part he had issues with balancing and finish issues with the other reproduction rims, if you see anything on the FR site he can beat the prices

I honestly prefer the look of the reps, but to be fair I'm also rockin' work truck 17s. But I just kinda prefer the less-beveled look.

X2. I think for me it's the angles. Notice that when the spokes get to the rim, they are parallel to each other on the rep.

 

[Rocket Man]

I decided I want matte black, since they're easy to touch up in case I get a scrape and they're winter wheels. I figure if I even touch one of the others they'll be ruined. And I want to buy from a company that will let me purchase a single wheel in the future in case one gets bent. So that limits me. Factory Reproductions doesn't sell any that meet this criteria, so NorcalSS is out. OEwheels.com has some I like and they'll sell single wheels. they've been around awhile plus others here have bought from them without a problem. So I'm leaning toward these. Edit: wtf, I was just looking and they say they won't work with upgraded brakes like Brembo. I sent them an e-mail.

^ prolly not the offset but the barrel of rim

20s may get tight
but id think 22+ should be ok
as 19s are minimum on big brake kits


22 black rhinos fit the stoptech 15" kit w/ plenty room to spare

 

[Rocket Man]

I ordered these Factory Reproductions in 22" satin black from @NathanJax , and found some Venezia 305/40r22's for $437 shipped so I ordered those. The Wilwoods came in today; I'll get some pics tomorrow.

 

[Rocket Man]

More work to do lol.

 

[MadDogDelpho]

Reps and brakes both look great. Meanest truck on the site for sure.
