Got some new shoes for the Denali

[EfiniMotorsport]

I picked up a set of 22's for my 04 Yukon. They were freshly repainted and for $700 I couldn't turn it down. I planned to repaint them gunmetal but the red is growing on me quickly. What do you guys think? I still need to raise the front end up to clear a little better, although they don't rub. Going to swap in a set of stock keys tomorrow and see how it looks. The red is a metallic candy-ish. Hard to get a good pic of it.

Now THAT is red. If they grow on you and you keep them that way you will need to do something like change the luggage rack to the same color. Change the black to red at the mirrors. No, I am just kidding. I would do the gun metal repaint.

Part of the reason I'm thinking about running them as they are is they were just painted and ceramic coated. It's going to be a big pain in the ass to sand them down and get them ready for a repaint. It is definitely the only red I'll have on the truck. My brakes and suspension are burnt copper which is the accent color I use on all my cars.

If you like them that's all that matters!

I picked the wheels up Thursday and I'm liking it more and more each day

It just boils down to how much attention, good and bad, you are comfortable with.

That's exactly what I'm worried about

Then you answered your own question.

Even if you like them, if this is a worry that's going to always be in the back of your mind, even to a small degree, then you probably should repaint them. This is a kind of look that one has to lean into and embrace, not wear with apprehension.

I'm more worried about getting pulled over by the cops in a few of the towns around here. I don't have anything to worry about if they do pull me over aside from the hassle of a few lost minutes. Guess I can run them and see what happens. I still have the stock wheels if I need to swap back while I repaint.
