The all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado offers one standard wheel and 12 other wheel choices. We’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to 2019 Silverado wheels, complete with pictures, availability info and every other detail.
The standard wheel is a 17-inch steel rim, while the remaining 2019 Silverado wheel choices are aluminum and range from 17 to 22 inches in diameter, with varying designs, widths and finishes.
Wheel availability varies by trim level. For instance, the RD6 steel wheel is 17 inches in diameter, 8 inches wide, is finished in Ultra Silver, and is only available for Work Truck (1WT) models, while the RVA aluminum wheel is 22 inches in diameter, 9 inches wide, and features a polished finish.
All factory 2019 Silverado wheels are shown in this gallery.
It’s worth noting that 22-inch steel transit wheels assigned RPO Code RBR (not pictured) are used to ship 2019 Silverado models ordered with a set of dealer-installed (LPO) 22-inch wheels. Doing so also allows the factory to ship the Silverado with an alignment for a 22-inch wheel.

About Chevrolet Silverado
The Chevrolet Silverado is a lineup of full-size pickup trucks sold primarily in North America, but also in the Middle East and in certain markets in South America. Slotting above the mid-size Chevrolet Colorado (known as the S10 in some markets), the Silverado is Chevrolet's largest pickup truck and currently consists of the 1500 light duty model, two Heavy Duty models - the 2500HD and 3500HD, as well as Conventional Class 4, Class 5 and Class 6 Medium Duty models - the Silverado 4500HD and Silverado 5500HD and Silverado 6500HD.
The 2018 Chevy Silverado represents the fifth model year of the third-generation Silverado. It is based on the GM K2 platform shared with other full-size pickup trucks and SUVs from GM. Though the line sold relatively well, it became less competitive in the marketplace with time when compared to its primary Ford F-Series rival, due to lacking cutting-edge features such as turbocharged engines, a rugged off-road variant such as the Ford F-150 Raptor, a diesel engine option in the light duty (1500) model, and also various modern features and equipment.

Luckily, an all-new Silverado arrived for the 2019 model year that addresses many of the issues of its predecessor model. Customers began taking delivery of the all-new truck in the second half of August 2018.
Chevrolet says that the all-new 2019 Silverado is the result of over 7,000 customer interviews - the most intensive research in its history. The new model uses higher grade alloy steel in the bed floor as well as various mixed materials that result in a reduction in weight and improved performance, with weight falling about 450 pounds. The truck also offers an expanded amount of models for a total of eight, including the new 2019 Silverado Trailboss.
Riding on GM's new T1 platform shared with other future GM full-size trucks and SUVs, the 2019 Silverado offers more technology, convenience features, and engine/transmission combinations. While details of five powertrain combos have already been revealed, GM has not yet shared details of the new inline-six 3.0L Duramax Diesel engine, only stating that it will be "best-performing" and that it will be mated to GM's new 10-speed transmission.
Notably, the outgoing, Chevy will continue manufacturing and selling the outgoing, K2 generation Silverado alongside the all-new model for a limited amount of time in limited configurations.
Having overhauled the Silverado 1500, Chevy will next overhaul the Silverado Heavy Duty. The brand released a teaser image of the upcoming all-new 2020 Silverado HD in April 2018 and announced the vehicle in November 2018. The truck will launch in the 2019 calendar year as a 2020 model.
The 2020 Silverado HD will be comprised of the Silverado 2500HD and Silverado 3500HD that ride on a more robust and capable version of the new T1 platform when compared to the 2019 Silverado 1500, while sharing many high-tech features and design elements with its light duty brother.
Completing the overhauled Silverado family is the 2019 Silverado Medium Duty series, comprised of the Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD.

- GM Fort Wayne Assembly in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
- GM Oshawa Assembly  in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
- GM Silao in Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico

Completely Hypothetical…but I’d have to go with NZT or SEV. I like the black or grey and silver combo. The contrast makes them stand out. I’d have to see them on the truck first though. Sometimes a great looking truck and great looking wheels just don’t look great together.
For me , i dont understand the point of 22 inches on a truck ? , it will affect the payload , towing , acceleration , breaking , ride quality ,fuel efficiency , off roading and the tiers are expensive to be replace ?! dose it worth all of that for good looking for sum ?
as for the options , Why there is no light weight offroading option, such as those u could find on Toyota s TRD ,Ford Raptor or Ram Rebel ?
the ones u find in Trail Boss or the Z71 are regular ones with some paintjob.
I agree, 22″ on a truck is not for me, I am having a hard time liking the looks of this truck but the wheels are “A game”. Chevy did a great job with them.
It’s strange but I’m actually thinking I like the looks of the lower end trims better than the high end. A Trail Boss Custom is really starting to look better to me than a Trail Boss LT although the face is hard to get use to.
I’ll take whatever ones that come with the trim level that I am buying. No sense paying extra to remove perfectly good wheels and tires just for different ones.
The placement of the Silverado and Z71 badges looks plain stupid ! Luckily they arent impossible to get off and if I do buy the Z71 I am looking at this afteroon, I will be moving the badge back to where it belongs !
