Bob wouldn't lie. Mexico and Canada fall under the "Made in America" slogan these days.

If they are real GM wheels, there should be a GM mark stamped or etched into the back side of the wheel somewhewre.

I had a problem once with some wheels from HOW, I don't think he was trying to deceive me but believe he got deceived by his supplier. So be cautious but not paranoid.

Correct, look on the inside of the wheels and you should see a GM stamp. These are my wheels from Bob..
