I love the optional OE 22" wheels on our 2012 Denali, but.....after replacing 2 already, I have the other 2 leaking air at the bead, forgive the dirty wheels, been cold and nasty here.
Maybe if I can find 2 more I will keep them, but they aren't cheap, IF I can find them. Bead sealing can only go so far, these haven't been sealed yet, but I have an appointment tomorrow to assess the damage.
If I could find a 20" wheel with a similar style, I might go that route when these tires wear out. So I'm curious to the options of preserving the bead and not having the chrome flake off as these are still in good shape. Or....replacing all 4 wheels with a chrome finish that is a polished finish and not plated.
I would like to preserve the look of this vintage of Yukon as much as possible, but open for options. I'm not really a fan of the OE 20" Denali wheels, they aren't bad looking, but want something similar to my 22"s. If anyone has dealt with this please chime in.
