AFAIK all 22" wheels ship separately to avoid damage in transit, they did for K2s also.  Those black wheels are "transit" wheels, and the dealer is expected to take those tires off and remount them onto the regular wheels shipped separately.

 

I was told today there is a $1500 core on those 4 black transit wheels and tires! GM really wants them back!

I believe the core is for the dealership. I don’t think the give the wheels to the customer.

Very nice truck. I got the LTZ loaded up. Has all but the high country seats, badges, 6.2 and some chrome. The 6.2 was not a big deal for me.

It's gorgeous. Congratulations! I'm waiting for mine; same as yours just white and 2WD.

You are correct, the dealership is responsible for the wheels and the core charge.

My TPW was next week, but just got word that my AT4 is already built.

Good for you. Mine was built in mid December, but it's still sitting in their distribution center where is 70 miles from my dealer. Still no schedule for delivery. GM is horrible in their keeping promises ?

I am waiting for mine to be delivered.  I was told it was in transit on 1/8 and to get info from the dealer.   It was added to the dealers inventory by the GM System but they have no idea when it will arrive or where it is.  Hopefully it will be soon.

Yeah I'm fully expecting it to not show up until February. Which is good, that means there exists some chance there will be a rebate when I close the deal. I can wait a few more weeks, I originally tried to order my truck back in August, and had to switch dealerships to get allocation.

Mine was built on 15th and now it's with the shipper

You should push to get more discounts from the dealer instead of waiting for the factory's rebates. Usually GM puts a lot of restrictions on it. If you look at their website now, it shows $6500 rebate, but for specific models and under some conditions. The only easy rebate you can get, would be the loyalty. Of course, if you have another GM car at the time of contract.

I think that is only for the older body models.

Actually, it's for the new ones. If you scroll down, you'll see in the same page introducing 2019.
