Didnt GM go to a metric bolt pattern in the 900s?

Add says 1997-2008 fitment. Not sure on that though.
Those are probably the best looking set I've seen yet....I could see me running those on a dually and being happy with 'em.
This is David's choice to make though.....
The 08 wheels should fit, but the 2011+ wheels will not.
Keep in mind those 08 wheels are just steel wheels with chrome plastic covers though....

I wonder how the factory wheels would look stripped and polished...
My vote would be clean up the factory wheels or find Alcoas. It's sad how limited your wheel choices are with an 8 lug dually.
Yeah they aren't what I had thought in my mind.... Hum....I know you've mentioned you wished they made PY0 style wheels for the duallys. Well, I found a couple renderings of the fronts in dually style and I don't think they would pull it off quite as well as the standard PY0 rims even if they existed:

The hunt continues.....Alcoa's are looking to be your best bet.
I've seen the early GMT900 wheels. I don't think they would work well on a GMT400. Lines are just not there IMO.2013 wheels look ok:
not a super favorite, but ok.
The rears are a little bit "funkier" though...
Alcoa knock-offs. Same model wheel on my 88 currently. If I were to buy new wheels I'd get a set of these, they are well made (although nothing beats an Alcoa). I'm not sure if I'm going to run polished wheels on this truck or go the monochromatic look yet...I suppose you could do rims like this on the 3500:
Get similar style rims on your trailer and then the k1500, 3500 and the trailer would more or less match.
That might look cool.....
They remind me of the angular Alcoa's that they don't make anymore... The hotshot is the one I really like with the oval holes, they also don't make them anymore.these 2013 rears look nice:
clean and simple.
Nice.
Matching fronts aren't as nice:
but that seems to be the way with dually's: you get nice front or nice rears but not nice front and rear.......maybe if those front center caps were flatter......
Alcoa Hot Shots. Probably my favorite wheel to date for a dually.these look pretty good:

Meh, leaves me cold.
Doesn't look like something that could have been factory...

The GMT900 wheels prior to recent (I haven't kept up on what they are doing lately) are indeed a plastic cover. My friend's father owns a 2008 and he clipped one on something and it shattered, basically. They are also 17s.Best damned plastic covers I've ever seen then.
I'd run those and be quite happy about it.
Only thing that would grind my gears would be I wouldn't be getting any weight savings over the steel wheels.....
Edit*
sure enough, you can tell they're covers in this pic:
still, I'd run 'em and they must be pretty cheap compared to a full AL wheel....
Didn't see anything there that tickled my fancy, particularly for a dually.Wait wait wait wait...what? Plastic covers on those wheels?? I always thought they were Alcoa Hotshot wheels? Everytime I looked at them they looked like a solid wheel.
Check out a company called Vision Wheel. They make some pretty nice aluminum wheels, I'd run some if I had an 8 lug.
