Default Wheel Help
I recently saw pictures of a GS wheel for 2012 that was a factory wheel. It was silver in color. Can anyone help me find it? Thanks

The base GS wheel is painted silver. The RPO is PYC. Gene at GM Parts House can probably get you the part numbers. Good luck!

Keep in mind that OEM wheels from a GM Dealer will list for $500.00 or more EACH.

Keep an eye on the for sale section, you can typically find nearly new take-offs for a chunk less than a grand.

Or look for someone who bought new wheels or bought chrome ones and he'll probably sell his old ones fairly cheap.

You mean these? (Not my car.)

I scooped up a set of these in near perfect condition for $550 in the For Sale section.



OR do you mean these? (Torque 2)
