Thumbs down who thinks CED is out of there minds
i was looking up the 08' ss/tc wheels and crateenginedepot wants 455 a wheel. does this seem alittle outrageous to some of you guys besides just me. 2000$ for a set of factory wheels

arent they forged and lightweight? i know that may not justify the 2k but they probably arent cheap to make either.

Any GM Dealership that you go to is going to charge $540 per wheel. That is the list price from GM. You will not get them any cheaper than that. Crade Engine Depo'ts price is a good deal for those wheels.

If they dont make the ss/sc wheels anymore then what if you go in for warranty work on your rims and they have to get you new wheels?
