Time to pick a new set of 22s ...

[sumo]

ok i voted Tbss

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!!!

I really wanted to get Ck375 but EVERYONE has these especially here in texas. Seems like all the Yukon XL here option these on.

Serge, what do you personally think about the new premium escalade 22" platinum look alikes? I like the gun metal look. I have a buddy who is looking to sell these for 3k. Just dont know how well or bad it would look.

 

[soulsea]

Wow, $3k including sensors and tires?
Those babies are INCREDIBLY rare as they just came out in 2012.
But gunmetal? I thought the new Premium 22s were basically the Plat wheels in brushed/polished finished not gunmetal.

Btw, there is one major problem with getting those for your truck ... they are so new that there's probably not a matching blank cap for them, much less one with the GMC lettering.

Plus, keep in mind that the new esky premium also has matching brushed mirrors and colormatched door moldings ... not sure how brushed metal rims will work with all your chrome. I know with the esky plat, they use the chrome version to match all the chrome on the side of the truck.

I dont know about sensors but he is selling them with tires at that price. He calls them gun metal. I think its more of a brushed look aswell. Im pretty sure he has the chrome mirrors like the original eskys. He does have color match door moldings, I LOVE that. As far as the caps concern I think they are like the platinum caps they look almost the same. Not positive thou, I believe robbie knows this.

It would look off thou, I just wish I could pull it off. Is 3k too much ?

They were available pre 2012. As far as I have heard they accept the same caps as a regular esky 22.

Nope ... if they're new with tires and sensors it's as good a deal as you're going to get so soon after their release. Keep in mind these are not an accessory wheel so the only way to get them is if someone takes them off their truck or at full blast (approx. $1000 each for just the wheel) at a dealer's part dept.

The caps might be the same as the chrome cause the esky plat caps I believe are mostly painted ... so you'd have to check up close to see if GM went through the trouble to match the brushed finish of the wheels around the painted center of the cap or if they just stuck the old cap.

But this doesn't resolve your issue ... I don't imagine you'd keep the esky caps on a denali and I have still to see a matching brushed finish cap for those wheel. Unlikely to ever be one cause there won't be enough of a market for them. So You'd have to get someone to blast a blank one with something to dull the finish ... but they'd have to be REALLY REALLY good to blast an aftermarket abs plastic chromed cap to match the wheel finish correctly.

You're getting perilously close to soulsea type of unnecessarily complicated mod territory here.

Tbss reps... Clean, simple and you ll be the first on a Nali!

 

[zach2011]

I actually think the Escalade ones would look nice on your Yukon, it looks like a Denali with some expensive OEM exterior upgrades to me. It won't look like an "Esky wannabe" until you put some Cadillac emblems on it.

LOL

No, GM was cheap and stuck on the old chrome caps like on the platinums. It looks funky for sure.

 

[Goodinblack]

I voted for the Plats. That is a hot wheel IMO. I love TBSS, just not in chrome, especially in a rep.

But what do I know, I am running 17s like the old guy from UP.

 

[BillBlatt18]

definitely the esky platinums

 

[Leonidas]

tbss FTW

 

[KMeloney]

Either the Eskys or reps. Those 913s are... Not good.

 

[soulsea]

Well I just drove into manhattan, and wouldn't you know it an esky with 913s pulled up next to me. They did not look good ... Too busy and they looked poke 20s.

So, it's now between the tbss and esky plats ... just like the vote prophecy.

 

[edgaranah1]

TBSS wouldnt look right. IMO. And I dont really dig the Esky Plats so I would say keep looking. with the money your going to drop on the esky plats you should keep on looking for something nicer. but hey who am I to say anything. lol

So I dug up this old thread ... http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3295

Damn those are nice ... They're 24s, truck's lowered, but pretty good indication of what six spoker chromes look like against a white truck.

 

[felixgun]

meh looks ok... esky platinums would look better

 

[JT1983]

Serge,
I say esky platinums, they look sporty and classy at the same same time... TBSS look like sumo's summer mode wheels to me (even though they might not be). look at his pic for a guide... Thanks again for the 375's
