2021 GMC Yukon Denali Rolls Out On 30-Inch Amani Forged Nava Rims: Video

Right out of the box, the 2021 GMC Yukon Denali is one serious SUV, especially the extended-length XL model. Now, one YouTuber is adding even more visual punch to the full-sizer with a set of 30-inch Amani Forged Nava rims, as featured in the following video.

Coming to us from WhipAddict, this brand-new GMC Yukon Denali XL looks larger than life with the new plus-sized rollers mounted in the corners. Rocking a full 30 inches in diameter, the Amani Forged Nava rims hail from the company’s Axl line, and rock an open layout with a turbine twist that adds loads of character to the look.

These particular Nava wheels were customized with a black finish for the inner spokes and a brushed face, complementing the deep black exterior paint nicely. The finish also plays nicely with the various chrome trim, of which the 2021 GMC Yukon Denali has plenty.

Rolling down the road, this custom 2021 GMC Yukon Denali XL commands the lion’s share of attention, as evidenced in the video below.

As a reminder, the Yukon nameplate is all-new for the 2021 model year, introducing a re-engineered and redesigned fifth generation. In addition the standard full-size SUV body style, the new Yukon is also offered as an extended-length XL model, which measures in at 225.7 inches, as compared to the 210.7-inch length of the standard Yukon model.

The 2021 GMC Yukon Denali features also features an exclusive interior design, as GM Authority was the first to report. One notable difference between the standard Yukon interior and the Yukon Denali interior includes the placement of the primary infotainment screen, which is integrated directly into the dash in the Denali, and mounted upright in the rest of the Yukon lineup. The Denali model is also offered with unique upholstery treatment and four exclusive color themes.

  1. Can these wheels/tires handle US roads?

    1. Those wheels and rubber bands can’t handle any road. Stupid, mine’s bigger than yours, attitude. Wish i had the money to buy then waste a brand new Denali, not!

  2. How can people think this looks good? Not only is donking a car with big rims and super low-profile tires ugly and impractical, its going to be uncomfortable as heck. People are stupid

    Reply
    1. Not to mention you might as well toss the new-for-2021 air ride suspension in the trash. Why would you punish yourself like that for something so ugly?

  3. looks horrible and will not handel pot holes, going to ride like your on steel wheels, what are people thinking

    Reply
    1. Not only looks stupid-but has likely voided the warranty on any suspension related parts. There is a good reason GM doesn’t install trash like this.

  4. That is FUGLY!

    1. Agreed!

  5. No it’s big SUV with even bigger rims!!

  6. Have always been a fan of the Conestoga wagon. What’s next, spray-on tires?

  7. Hilarious. I need a laugh today.

  8. Just my opinion, but this looks not good.

  9. Think it looks good, no different then a “bro” truck strutting around on 40” tires..

    Reply
    1. Maybe visually, but I promise you the bro with 40 inchers will at least be able to walk when he exits the vehicle. Kiss your tie rods bye bye.

      Reply
    2. Exactly. Idk how how this fugly and stupid but brodozers get a pass. To each his own. Spend your money how you like.

  10. That is truly one of the dumbest wheel over-sizings I have ever seen.

    Reply
  11. Ridiculous, your just riding on the rims.
    Not a good look and the ride will suck. Hit a pothole and you will be out a ton of money.

    Reply
  12. This is truly nice and sweet.

    Reply
    1. Try telling that to my herniated disc.

      Reply
  13. When realized that nearly HALF of a vehicle’s suspension capabilities is determined by the tire sidewall, this is idiotic !

    Reply
  14. Looks like wagon wheels from the Chuckwagon…….rolling rolling rolling, keep them puppies rolling, rawhide…..

    Reply
  15. Not a good look at all really messes up the appearance of this nice truck

    Reply
  16. With wheels this large and the tires having no sidewall, the suspension and plush interior are both utterly useless.

    I could imagine that while driving this thing, it feels as if you’re riding down the road while sitting on a stump. To each their own.

    Reply
  17. LOL I needed a good laugh today and these sprayed on rubber bands provided it! The good news is one could throw these in the dumpster where they belong and install the correct 20″ Denali rims and have a nice looking ride.

    Reply
  18. Millions of tall wheels and tires sold since the wagons of old were rolling on 35’s plus. Like it or not it’s here to stay. Vehicular Vanity…it’s where the money is

    Reply
  19. Truck looks like a Hearse and then you put ugly wheels on it. Whats wrong with you GM?

    Reply
  20. I shake my head in dismay. I used to work as a validation engineer for wheels and tires on that product. Unless you are only driving on asphalt that is smooth as a baby’s butt, these wheels have no business on your truck.

    Reply
  21. Great vehicle should be supported by performance wheels and tires; especially when considering weight distributions, and rough public roads. I can this wheel option in a photo shoot. But, the beauty of life, and how one measures succcess…to each his own. Beautiful Denali.

    Whoever owns this SUV, enjoy it.

    1. Exactly… refreshing comment instead of all the hate comments coming from squares who have no idea about the custom auto culture and industry. And have probably have never had a customized vehicle in their lives. Hey, these same haters use to say the same thing about people customizing their hot rods and muscle cars back in the 70s and 80s.

      Reply
  22. Those tires need rubber! Unless this is a show car that will spend it’s entire life on display and off roads, this is the silliest way to spend your money and waste a Yukon’s good looks.

    Reply
  23. First thing I thought of when viewing that abomination was the Seinfeld episode where Kramer’s jeans are so tight he has to walk like a mummy cuz he can’t bend his knees. LOL.

    Reply
  24. i’m curious to know what the tyre spec is and brand. are they 305/30/zr30 or whatever.

    Reply
    1. Peter I think they are 295/25-30 by Lexani or Lionheart tires.

      Reply
  25. I double dog dare you to try and drive that in Pennsylvania.

    Reply
  26. I see the front tires rub against the body. Seen on the driver side front outside of tire, shown in the video.opps

  27. Look at all the cry babies, squares and old men complaining about the wheels. 90% of people who own SUVs don’t take them off road. So what if the wheels get damaged, put the stocks back on. Those of us who can afford $80K plus vehicles done whine and fret over trivial bullcrap. All you cry babies…stick with your Prius’s. P.S., I have a 2020 Range Rover Autobiography on 24″ wheels…So what???

    Reply
    1. Ah…who’s crying? I see this is personal for you, dude. Congrats on your Range Rover. I wouldn’t be caught dead in it, but that’s just my opinion. Not whining, not crying, good for you, more power to you. I’m also 24 and drive a Cadillac, not a Prius. I don’t like massive rims not because they’re terrible for offroading lol, which they are. It’s the on-road ride quality that is absolute trash. Personally, I’d much rather have 19’s or 20’s with plenty of tire sidewall to soak up the bumps (with the air ride suspension added in) to give me a silky smooth ride and driving experience over having massive rims that draw attention but destroy stock ride quality.

      Don’t be so triggered because people disagree with you, do what you like and I’ll do what I like.

  28. Tony I think people are more worried about GM putting them on from the factory. I really don’t care what people do to their cars after the own them. If you want to buy a new Vette and put p235 75 r-15 Mud tires on it knock yourself out. Might defeat the whole purpose of a corvette but its there choice. Just like the tires on the Gmc in this post. I have owned many full sized Blazers and Tahoe’s. I have had many 3/4 ton 4wd Diesel Pickups as well. Usually the purpose of modifying a truck or car is to improve performance not take away from it. Regardless of looks. I have made many modifications to truck and cars over the years. I think what you are seeing here from people is what they wouldn’t want to see on there own trucks from the factory. Myself included. P.S. My wife says I am a grumpy old man. I also get mad when i see a chevy engine in a 1970’s Trans AM.
