It's a touch better than Laura from what I can tell especially without a trade which is another$1000 or $1500 I think . Every dealer "hates" Laura because they can't even get their vehicles for that much lol. I'm going to be around $63k so I'm happy and I don't have to drive twelve hour just wait twelve weeks lol . But laura had great deals for sur.

Yeah you know I'm questioning the chrome inserts as well butiI think with the denali trim it will pair well. If not they can be adjusted accordingly. They should be unique for sure!

Well I pulled the trigger! I now have intake, tuner, light bulb replacements, under step lights, husky liners, suspension max level 2.5/1, clone 22" wheels and nitto terra grappler 285/50r22 ready to go. Now just need the damn Denali to get here!

2015.5 summit white Denali touring package. Build week is next week. And scored an employee certificate :)

I like them!

Woohoo - got the wheels in today. These things are SICK - freaking love them. I think they are going to look incredible with the 285/50R22 Nittos on a white Denali with dark windows. DROOL.

OE Wheels was spot on, price was $900 with lugs. Although they shipped one wheel then 3 more later that afternoon which tracking says I will get tomorrow.

The quality an finish looks fantastic from what I can tell. I have all my goodies lined up in the garage now - PLEASE SHIP ME MY VEHICLE! (Being built this week).

I had to throw them up against my dirty Tahoe for a quick glance. If I had the tires I would put them on the storm trooper now ;-) Holy crap they are huge too! 22" coming from 18" is a world apart.

Testing out some black satin paints and clears this weekend so when the GMC OEM caps come in I can paint those and get a good match.

Wheels look great!! Can't wait to see them on your truck.

If that's what I think it is on the right in your pics (Putco LED Fogs) -- Read the updated thread on the fogs. The 2015i takes a different fog light.

Love your pile of parts too. I had the same thing for my Raptor and the Denali while I waited an eternity for them both to be built.

Well my vehicle is built and through inspections. Just waiting on shipping at this point (the longest part it seems).

Meanwhile just keep looking at other peoples mods and vehicles. Awesome stuff. Found this one today, looks pretty good. I am not a huge fan of these particular wheels but the overall look is decent. I am glad I went with the rims I did honestly, I think the chrome will tie in nicely with all the chrome on the Denali. Still have some questions on the 22's and whether it was the right choice given my driving habits and being on job sites and such but I will just have to be extra careful I guess. I certainly think the new body style deserves the 22's. I am still planning on trying to jam 285/50R22 in there to get another 1/2 inch of sidewall. Local shop thinks it will work with the leveling kit and maybe just a touch of trimming (hope not).

Not sure if it is just me but the black wheels make the front rake on the Denali look even worse IMO.

Meanwhile I will just watch water boil while GM figures out a way to deliver my vehicle.
