Chevy Silverado Short Bed Hits The Streets On Vossen M-X5 Wheels: Video
Sponsored Links
Right out of the box, the Chevy Silverado is a fantastic workhorse, with all the right stuff to get the job done. However, with a few extras and some customization, it can be transformed into a street-fighting performer, as evidenced in the following video.
Coming to us from the Vossen Wheels YouTube channel, this video is short, clocking in at just one minute, 47 seconds. However, in that brief time we get a taste for the Chevy Silverado’s speedy side, starting with a set of Vossen M-X5 rollers. Offered in both three-piece and monoblock construction, the Vossen M-X5 wheels rock a simple, elegant design, with long, thin spokes and a generous outer lip section.
Vossen offers the M-X5 in a variety of different diameters, from 18 inches up to 24 inches, as well as several different widths, while the color selection includes a palette of 48 different hues. All this good stuff doesn’t come cheap, though, with prices starting at $1,800 per wheel for monoblock wheels, and $2,200 per wheel for the three-piece units.
Despite the eye-widening price tag, these rollers look tasty, especially on this custom Chevy Silverado. As it just so happens, this particular Bow Tie pickup was chopped up with a bespoke short bed / regular cab conversion, blessing it with new proportions that lend it a sporty, aggressive vibe.
It’s a similar setup as the customized 2020 GMC Sierra we covered back in October, and paired with a lowered stance thanks to new Belltech suspension, this Chevy Silverado is bringing some serious curb appeal. As for the wheels, those are three-piece units sized at 24 inches by 10 inches in front, and 24 inches by 11 inches in the rear. The tires are from Nitto, specifically the 420V compound, sized at 295/35 in front and 305/35 in the rear.

Give us the Reg Cab Short Bed!
Yep-the regular cab short bed might sell less than 1,000 units per month.
Gotta love how you’re downvoted despite speaking the truth. Hey, downvoters: how many RCSB Ram 1500s and F-150s do you see on a daily basis compared to RCLBs, extended cabs, and crew cabs?
The RCSB variant is sold in other markets, so it should be a no brainer to sell it here.
Truck looks great. Proportions are just right. Not sure if article is about truck or wheels? Must’ve been filmed in UAE.
It was filmed in the US they shorten the bed since you can’t buy on in the states from the factory like that. However GM is making them here and shipping them over seas so selling them in US would be easy. If the camaro is truly going away or electric this would be away to have rear wheel drive hot rod factory built.
Maybe they imported it from another country? Probably cheaper than shortening a long bed.
Is it cheaper? That’s a good question. On one hand, it costs a lot to import a vehicle from another country. OTOH, shortening a Chevy regular cab/long bed to a short bed isn’t as simple as cutting the frame 18ish” ahead of the wheels, because unlike the other brands, GM still makes their long beds with a longer rear overhang–about 5″ more.
Pretty sure if a guy goes through the trouble of buying a new truck , cutting the frame, changing up exhaust, driveshaft, all the emissions/fuel/brake lines, fuel tank location etc and then drops the 6″ bed onto the converted frame he probably isn’t too concerned about the price of the wheels. Great looking truck, its a complete no brainer for GM to offer them here, just do it already!!! No RCSB, no sale.
Would like a std cab short box. Might have to buy a Ram
My husband had drove a Chev Silverado all his life. Had to buy a toyoto to get a short bed and cab.
What? Toyota dropped the regular cab/6.5′ from the Tundra in 2014, and then dropped the regular cab altogether a few years later. GM offered a RCSB Silvy/Sierra through 2018.
This is looking really slick.
Beautiful front, especially bumper. Wish it were electric.
I don’t see what the issue is for GM to sell regular cab shortbeds Ford sells the new 2021 F150 on a regular cab shortbed, GM is like Pvt. Pyle on the parade grounds with his pants around his ankles and sucking his thumb they don’t have a Raptor or TRX competitor.
I just don’t see the point in a “performance street truck” having 24s. Way to make it slower, handle worse, get worse mileage, ride worse and look worse.
A set of 18x9s or 18×10 would be better. 20s are acceptable, but not ideal.
Buyers of these trucks don’t have logic, they have egos.
Buyers of these trucks have pride. What an off kilter comment when discussing a truck variant or lack there of. Why would having this truck make u automatically egotistical? I know alot of guys that have badass street trucks and the sole reason why is they lack any sign of an ego so they spend evenings and weekends in the garage, buying parts online because they are too shy or just plain quiet to be out doing anything else. Alot of good people in the hobby. U should stop by my shop on a saturday morning for Cars and Coffee. I bet it would permanently change your perception.
You can buy the wheels in U.S. But not the truck. Ridiculous!
Yeah, you’re probably right. I’m sure they are nice guys. Modding and customization is a good thing.
I actually LIKE the look of 24s on this truck, stance, etc.
But the notion of “performance street truck with 24s” makes me think of street races that go wrong, road rage videos, bent rims, frequent tire replacement, annoying public burnouts in intersections, etc.
At least they aren’t rolling coal. THAT is just stupid. It’s like a teenage boy pretending he’s got a steam locomotive while cow tipping Priuses. At least put a K5LA horn on it LOL
Actually, I’d like to put a K5LA horn on my Bolt so I can REALLY mess with the coal rollers. Lights off, they won’t even hear me coming 🙂
While I don’t like the look or the effects, I certainly don’t have a chip on my shoulder against them. I’d love a RWD RCSB Chev someday with a few mods, I would just do it differently. I just find it ironic when you’re making a (somewhat) performance oriented vehicle considerably slower and worse riding. Wheels this big don’t handle better either.

Chevy Guy and all those in favor of having the opportunity to finally get a performance truck again…..NO chance!..GM has not built a performance truck or SUV in over 10 years for people like us. Over Mary B’s dead body will we see something this come to fruition! Last performance truck/suv was Trailblazer SS (2009 last year of production) and we all know who took control of GM at that point. Her and the rest of corporate’s focus is on electric vehicles. We are forced to go outside of GM for these specialty vehicles. What a shame! Thank you FCA(Stellantis) and Ford for listening and providing!
just buy the f150 earthquake edition.. minus GM’s quirky AFM/ newer AFM/ Still Junk AFM
stick your blue oval…
