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...

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.
