Welcome from another Silverado 20 owner, and your south central neighbor. I'm just south of the State Capitol, big city of Clancy! Also running the GMT 400 Alloys on mine!. A 3" holesaw to the center caps makes PERFECT front hub holes!
Those wheels are actually factory on the GMT 800(1999-2007) trucks, but a lot of people run them on the 400s because they are a bit lighter than the steel wheels. I'll be among that bunch as soon as I find a set I can afford, when I have the $$. And personally I prefer the 400 style 8 lug cap as it's not as busy looking as the 800 ones that come with the wheels. So make holes in as many of the 800 style as you want!

@Stormhawk Welcome from the beeeutiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia! Nice truck!
@Grit dog Small world my direction too. My ancestors on my mother's side were Hershbergers. Three brothers settled in what became Luray, VA in the late 1700's. Luray is an hour up the valley from me. Two Hershbergers own farms not far from me.

Well, I grew up in Illinois. In the 1990's my folks lived in Champaign, Il., near I-74. They drove east on I-74 to locate the Hershberger cemetery in Vedersberg, IN., just off 74, where some of my Mom's ancestors were buried.

Those wheels look better on the SB than the 800, in my opinion. I sold my set after the stock tires wore out. They sold pretty quickly for $100 per wheel. I put on some 17” black MTs which I like much better. A couple of the stock wheels clear coat was burning off so they started looking tired and I didn’t feel like improving them. Hopefully I won’t regret it, doubtful.
