Hey y’all been off here for a minute still on the hunt for wheels! I’d prefer 20” so to have more rubber between me and the ground but I may have to go 22” due to absolutely great price on a few wheels but like I said would rather 20”s but there is a set of 18” wheels they just seem ugly enough but look hard as steel!! Lol I’ll show the 3 different wheels on my truck. poorly photoshopped pictures d as o no need for a negative comment. But I think I need real ass dudes like y’all “400 runners” on what you think would set off my ride best but not be crazy I want her to look like she’d just kill it sitting next to these copycat newbies with newer trucks thinking they rocking but really jocking the set it off 400 got it all off truck suv world we now live in!!! Lol pic order 1 stock 2-18’s 3-ok set 20”s 4- lil better 20”s 5- 20”s I really want but not having good luck with communication with place selling them. 6- 22”s really awesome price 7- ok set 20”s I appreciate the your help and thoughts to help me decide which wheels to go with thanks!

Rims are so subjective. I don't like any of the choices you put forward, but it's not my truck.
Keep in mind the bigger the wheel the less sidewall you'll have, so the harsher it will ride, and the easier you will bend a rim. In the upper midwest potholes and frost heaves are a real thing, a pothole at highway speed will ruin your day.

I know All about Midwest life in live in Michigan and work at u of M. I know the ride won’t improve with the bigger wheels but I feel it’s the one for sure thing to update it into looking less old! But “if” you had to pick one which one would be “it” is the question? lol my stock wheels are degrading on the backsides and also noticed one of the spokes has been damaged from taking the wheels off or cap off from not me but somewhere of getting things fixed along the way of the last 1yr or so.

I know you live there, that's why I said that.....

I wouldn't pick any of the wheels you posted, and here's why: A) chrome and winter don't play well together and ****** flaking chrome wheels would make your clean looking ride look awful. B) I don't like any of the wheels you posted, I think the stock ones look better than any of em, but as I said, it ain't my truck. Asking for opinions about something as subjective as whee;s won't help you much, because everyone will have a different opinion. Some will like what you like, others not so much.

I like big wheels, I have 22's on both GMT800s I own, and 20's on my car. I had 24's on the Yukon, but they got sold after a pothole took out the belts in two tires.

Ok thanks. Not looking for a debate just trying to get a handful of replies and basically decide off which has the most likes. I really don’t mind the stocks but they are breaking down I’ll have to take a pic and throw it on this thread lol. I get everyone has opinions it’s better nicer etc... to hear which or what gmt400 people would do since they’re/we’re all in same boat of vehicle. And I’m not going to spend money on finding really good took care of stocks since they are usually not in that condition for sale hence buy different wheels and caps are just as hard to find and the worries of them breaking again and they’re not that cheap just for center caps! And for anyone who lives in salt belts if you actually clean your wheels the chrome will not go to crap mine are original and I’ve been asked by a caddy dealer body shop how do I keep the wheels so clean and they were dirty at the time he asked. Filtered water or hot water and elbow grease basically all you need to clean chrome or just the dampness of your drying off the car from a wash towel will due! But in summer it may seem crazy and not the best to omit but spit cleans chrome amazingly if you don’t have anything else.

Yeah I was thinking that but everyone wants too much money and the 22” factor comes up! But there is a 20” nbs wheel I like but I’m not trying to spend a lot of money and I’m debating when I do get other wheels to keep or sell stocks since the tires are new around 1000-2000 miles on them. And just swap them out for summer n winters
