Are the gm wheels really worth 4k?

Hey guys,

I am really thinking about getting the black and chrome 21's that gm has on the website for the LS I will be getting. Do you think there worth 4k. Also do you know where I can get them for cheaper. Thanks

If you want the looks and to keep the car original, then yes...If you want performance and light weight, then no way...

The GM wheels from the dealer also come with tires, not just the rims. If you just want the rims then here you go.

Plan black 8.5" wide $645.27 each plus shipping

Chrome with black accent 8.5" wide $625.25 each plus shipping
http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...umber=92230280

Also note that the 245/40zr21 tires listed for the 21" rims are listed at $732.20 each plus shipping at the dealer. If you buy all four tires and rims separate the total is $5,429.80 plus shipping.

If you really want them, look for someone selling theirs after they figure out how much new tires run. I've seen them for almost half of what GM is selling them for and that was with tires.
