What is this?

Willie Allen · February 26, 2020

I found this GMC Denali when I was looking for wheels for my truck, but now I'm intrigued as to what this is. From what I can tell this truck isn't from the factory this way (outside of the wheels) but maybe I'm wrong? I customized the Sierra on GMC's site every way I could and didn't see an option like this. Any ideas?

I like the spoke design but why do all these aftermarket rim makers put those huge plastic looking monstrosity of a center cap on almost all aftermarket rim choices? It really cheapens the look of the rim styling imo, it's almost why a hundred percent of the time i find the factory wheels are 9 times out 10 nicer and cleaner looking then what is around in the aftermarket.

Truck looks OK as is, but the showroom could use a little work.

Agree most factory wheels look better. OE creations make a few wheels I like but there all based off oe designs. I also don’t like the pushed out look of the aftermarket wheels.

I think I got an answer on the truck. Sounds like the truck was just wrapped and that's how they got that color.

It is...

Definetly wrapped. And you can't get a Denali without all of the chrome. I'm willing to pay for the options, but I don't want the chrome. A "black out" Denali package would likely be a best seller.

Yeah i agree the denali needs to be all color matched, the chrome is such an outdated look on anything these days imo. It is why the AT-4 package is so popular right now, hell i can barely find any on most lots right now and they are never around for long.

If they would make a monochromatic Denali they wouldn’t have to discount them over 15k to sell them like they are doing around me right now. It currently is the biggest discounted GMC truck I’m seeing on dealer lots right now.

I’ll bet the discounts are more a product of the MSRP being way too high for it’s interior quality/ features VS the competition...not because it has the trademark chrome grille. A Denali bought anywhere near it’s 67k sticker price is a borderline robbery.

We can argue all day about what we want or don’t want, but 40% of Sierra sales were SLT in the K2. And you know Denali took up another huge chunk of it because that’s all you see on the roads. The anti-chrome sentiment doesn’t exist as much with the general public as it does with people on this forum...or those figures wouldn’t happen.
