Make sure those wheels have rims or else you will not be able to
inflate your tires. Look in a GM parts book- Wheels are not called rims.

Old school...rims. New school...wheels. They are one in the same. I could BORE you with the actual breakdown of its parts, but I'll spare you! Or a comparison to other objects!
