It looks fifty kajillion times better. Are you going to remove the door side mouldings? De-Moulding and a good car wash and waxin' would be refreshing with the new rims!

Thanks Felix. Not sure if I'm gonna demould at least not anytime soon. I washed and clay barred a couple weeks ago, washed and waxed last week and washed and detailed the wheels and tires today. She looks purdy.

Very nice, Mike. I like the escalade roof rack and vent caps. How did you color match the center caps?

awesome. dont de mold...the painted molding looks great and keeps it from looking like a stripped down truck. now if it were black molding id say lose it but it looks great as is. love the color. and tails haha.

Thanks Chad. Yeah I never planned on de molding but it had crossed my mind. I like the molding, it kinda adds a little something to the sides. But you're right, if they were black I'd get rid of them or color match. I actually bought the tails before I joined the forum so looks like I made a good choice.

Looks so nice! Those tails look great also. You should change the molding to the gmc sierra molding. All the cool guys are doing it!:)

Just used a close color vinyl -its not 100% exact - but its so far from paint anyhow you'd never guess.
Oh that's a cool idea, thanks Mike.
Looks so nice. What a difference a set of wheels make. Good buy:Handshake:
Thanks Vince. :High 5:

They're nice especially because they're my first set of new-to-me-wheels. I searched craigslist for months. originally I was looking for aftermarket chrome wheels and these popped up and everybody told me to get em, so I did.
