Snagged these yesterday on FB Marketplace 30 miles from the house. Also ordered some GMC center cap decals to replace the Bow Ties.
Pretty shiny things!

Today I went on the hunt for the correct fancy chrome lug nuts for these OBS wheels. O'REILLYS to the rescue. They were the only store in town that had 20 of the correct lug nuts in stock. $48 later I headed to my local tire shop and they jumped right on it.
I am very well pleased with the outcome. My GMC center cap decals will be here in a few days.
When you finish the center caps you will have a visual for those of us who want to see?

These are the ones I ordered to replace the Bow Ties.
Splendid; they remind me of the wheels on my brother's El Camino SS back in the day.

I had limited shop time today due to normal life intrusion. I did manage to get two center caps done with my recently procured GMC decal set. The replica decals are vinyl and not metal like the factory bow ties but they are a perfect fit and should last a long time. The vendor cautions against direct pressure from a car wash but my truck gets only hand washed anyway and at $8,41 shipped for a set I felt like I couldn't go wrong. I will be ordering another set just to have on hand.

About 45 seconds with my heat gun and I was able to get my exacto knife under the edge of the metal backed bow ties and pry them off. Then some brake kleen and a rag to get the glue off and careful placement of the GMC decals. Two down and 2 to go.
