Default New to the site, couple of questions for upgrades

Hey everyone. I recently purchased a 2007 Suburban LS (white in color) and I have a few upgrades I want to do, but Im wondering where to begin to find some of the items. The reason I didnt just buy a LTZ model is because I got this one at a steal and didnt need the thrills of the ltz, like the navigation, etc. I have already had leather added, and a ltz grille. Here is what I have left on my list...

-White exterior door handles- I have the factory black ones currently and want to upgrade to the painted white ones. Anywhere other than the dealer to find these?

-Middle console/ jump seat with lockable compartment- I have the seating option of a middle jump seat in between the driver and passenger seat that has two cupholders and a open compartment on top.... What I am wanting is an option of having a closeable lid on the jump seat. I hope that makes sense and someone knows what I am talking about.

-Factory 20" wheels- I have been checking dealerships for some pull-off wheels and tires with no luck yet. Ive been scanning craisglist as well but no luck yet. I want to buy or even trade what I have now.

Thanks in advance for the help and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Welcome to the forum.

Since you have to pull the door handles to replace, why not just paint them? Check gmpartsdirect.com for new ones.

Check ebay for the wheels, I've seen them there in the past.

Would painting the door handles look good? They are the textured/grainy handles on a 2007 ls model. Anyone ever do this and have it turn out good?

Also, any advice on the jump seat? The dealership didn't have any advice for me.

Thanks

Didn't realize they were textured.

Check with local tire shops that also sell rims...folks trading out stock for custom have to do something with them :-)
