GM warranty for factory wheels
Hello everyone
i am thinking about switching my wheels to a set of gloss black ones but I wanted to know if GM only warranties wheel purchased from them or from any vendor? When I say warranty I am only talking about wheel cracks as they are very prone. I have already had one wheel replaced for it cracking. I have a 17 GS.
Thank you everyone.

Purchase some better quality rotary forged or forged after market rims. I love my Crays.

I spoke to a service adviser at Chevy and they said it would have to be bought from GM and then you would have you buy the tire/wheel warranty insurance. So with that being said it might just be cheaper to buy another brand or maybe the re-productions are built better. I want to stay under $2000 for wheel so I will keep looking, I see people selling OEM's but I am afraid they will be just as susceptible to cracking so I wouldn't go that route.

I cannot see any company honoring a warranty claim on something they didn't make or install as OEM or sell as an OEM accessory...

GM will only warranty the wheels that it left the factory with or GM wheels purchased through a dealer. Aftermarket wheels should come with their own warranty.

There are actually some very nice wheels out there in GS/Z06 sizes that you can get at your $2K price range. You don't hear about quality aftermarket wheels cracking that often. I would definitely go the aftermarket route before purchasing another of the same set, which typically sell for right around $2K on here.
