Default Sierra Wheels on a Silverado???

I'm not too crazy about my stock Silverado wheels, but I really can't justify spending a bunch of money on aftermarket wheels either. I saw a Sierra in a parking lot yesterday and thought the stock aluminum wheels looked pretty good. This got me to thinking that I could pick up some Sierra wheels cheap, but I have a couple of questions.

1. This wheel will fit OK on my 2004 Silverado, right?


2. Can I get a plain center cap? I saw some plain centers on eBay, but wasn't exactly sure if they would fit this wheel.

3. Did this wheel come in polished and non-polished versions? I've seen some on eBay that look like polished aluminum, but others that look like brushed or satin. I like the shinier kind.

Thanks for any input. Here are some pics of my truck: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=272092

LOL

I did the opposite. I have large tires mounted on my polished Sierra wheels and stock tires on the Silverado wheels for daily driving.

Yes they will work just fine.

Thanks for the replies. I'm still just looking around, so I'm not interested in buying right at the moment. I've looked at Denali wheels on eBay-- they would be nice, but I'd need to get new tires with them. I'm trying to keep this cheap and may just end up sticking with my stock wheels.

3. Did this wheel come in polished and non-polished versions? I've seen some on eBay that look like polished aluminum, but others that look like brushed or satin.

Even though I have these wheels (bought used), I can't answer this question...but I can tell you from personal experience that the satin 'look' can also occur when you don't polish the wheels regularly. I recently spent MANY hours polishing my wheels because I had ignored them too long. When I first began to hand polish them, the finish took on that brushed or satin look. I was really afraid that the polished finish was long gone but I kept working it and restored the original polish. Here's a link to a picture that shows the difference.

I've seen both argent painted wheels (I think they were on the 99's only, but don't quote me on that) and polished version of that wheel.
