Why do GXP wheels cost so freaking much? The wife unit managed to destroy an original front wheel for our '06 GXP and now has done the same for it's replacement. I CAN NOT find another good one for a reasonable amount of cash. Why do they cost so much? Because they're ALCOA?

Bonne wheels look better on the Bonnevilles IMO. This is my old Bonne GXP. Damn I miss that car. 
The Alcoa's from the 05-07's are waaaay better than the wheels GM used when they lost the Alcoa contract. I hated the wheels that were on my '08 GP GXP.
