2015i in the driveway

[motorwerks]

Look again... the picture I posted is a new option for GMC. The same wheel with ONLY 6 spokes is Chevrolet. These have nothing to do with a 2010 Esky


Edit.... the 7 spokes are ck159
the 6 spokes are ck158

The ones on the 2015i GMC from Reels IS 6 spokes. The one you posted is 7 spokes. I mentioned to George that the 7 spoke wheel is similar (NOT THE SAME) as the ones that are on a 2010 Cadillac Escalade PLATINUM (my old truck btw)...NOT regular Escalade....Platinum....again; NOT the SAME...but SIMILAR...and that those can be had in replica versions on the internet (eBay, etc) for less money.

So you're pretty much telling him the exact thing I did. When I posted the pic I said this was the 7 spoke not the 6... then went on the post a picture of the 6 spoke.

Esky platinum have covered lugs... these do not

Buddy...I said in my original post, that they DO NOT have the large center caps, etc., etc.

What part of this is confusing?

I'm not telling him anything you did. I simply said:

1. Cadillac GMT900 Platinum Escalades are basically the same as the posted 7 spoke wheel except that they have the large center caps instead covering the lugs.

2. That replica versions of said wheels (GMT900 Platinum Escalade) are available less expensive than factory variants (from GM)

3. That these could be a viable option for George for his winter setup (for example).

4. That's it. Nothing more or less intended nor implied

Okay that cool. I must be confused then. My sincerest apologies

It's all good man. It was a confusing thread

Well, it seems I have plenty of time. Our rig is still in Tex-ass...

Just got a call from my rep...mine just went to 4200 - Shipped. Finally! We were told that it was to be shipped tomorrow and go to 4200 status at 6pm EST tomorrow.

That's awesome... You should be driving it next week.

It's important to note that it doesn't make much sense to pay $3000 for most of the 22" wheel packages. You are better off taking the standard 20" wheels, taking delivery of the vehicle, then simply going online to one of the many GM parts websites and ordering up the wheels afterwards.

You will still pay around $550/wheel and around $180/tire. However, you'll still have your factory set leftover!

The exception to the rule is the $895 upgrade to the Q7M wheel which is a bargain in comparison.

My plan was to order the Q7M, and buy a set of chrome 20" that came with the original 15'.
That's how it sits now, with the winter wheels here before the truck.
I'm just tossing ideas because I have had plenty of time to do that... Like almost 9 months worth....

I'm now thinking with the champagne color, the muted Q7M am actually look better than full on chrome.
