No, those are GM transport wheels modified to accept the OEM hubcaps and those done come in 8x6.5 bolt pattern. The Detroit Steel 20s a different than that by a little bit and from what they've told me they're working on a set for the 8x6.5 bolt pattern but just don't produce them yet. They'll be able to either accept an OEM hub cap or a smoothie type cap.

@07Burb When you first told me about the wheels you were getting I thought it was like these.

LOL....no we're keeping 8 lug. These wheels are not cheap so I don't mind having to wait for the 8x6.5's to come out.

6 lug will give you more options.

I know but to be honest I'd rather not run adapters and converting over to a 6 lug setup on this suburban would be a pretty big pain in the ass.
