I have to admit that the look and ride quality of the 20's is starting to appeal to me. I'll know in a few weeks when I get the tint, black gmc badging, splash guards, and in channel rain guards installed if I'm going to keep them. If that's all done and I'm happy with the looks they will stay. Both of my previous Denali's had 22's and I wasn't impressed with the ride.

So far I detailed it using chemical guys blacklight followed by some 50/50 carnuba, got my weathertech mats, GMC splash guards, and tint installed today. Now I wait for my black and chrome GMC emblems and a few other goodies to set it off. I've driven it about 340 miles and thus far it's flawless! Pics attached

Nice! Not really digging the mud flaps. Since you have the fixed running boards are mud flaps all that necessary? IMO, on these newer utes, the 20"s look small and unattractive. 22"s definitely a must!

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah the mud flaps are necessary unfortunately since the tires were flinging stones and mud at the paint. I'm undecided as to which wheels I'll choose, I'm actually enjoying the soft ride of the 20's right now. I've owned several of these vehicles with wheels from 17" to 26" and I'm thinking I'll be buying 24's as of now.

Eesh. I cannot even fathom how horrible the ride would be on 24's. even 22's are awful on these rigs. I am dying to get 22's but the ride...ugh.

@jet black slt , detailer here in socal. I absolutely love chemical guys blacklight. Its phenomenal. So worth the price for the upkeep of black and dark paint colors! I buy 90% of my products I use from them. And your ride looks great by the way!

Bigbeard thanks for the kind words. Chemical Guys is one of my favorite makers of car products! My wife makes fun of me because I buy so many car care products from them lol
