Yep

If I were to buy 16 inch wheels from Chevy, it'll cost me $455 a rim.

I'd rather buy some forged BBS rims.

And I bet GM is wondering why they hardly sell their wheels.

Actually, dealer cost on just about any OEM wheel is crazy. I just sold a steel wheel on a Nissan Sentra for $173. That's one steel 15" wheel. lol. I've never seen ANY OEM aluminum wheel that cost was under $250.

Any parts you buy from GM are priced crazy. I think just one hub cap is $80.

A set of Volks wouldn't cost much more... Too bad they want nothing to do with our 110x5 pattern.
