as many WS6s that i see around on this board with aftermarket wheels i think you could pick up a couple of stock WS6 rims from somebody for $250 or so shipped

If they price the wheels like most everything else,GMPD is not gonna be cheap. $375 doesn't sound too awfully bad shipped.

You can get or could get WS6 replicas from AAA wheels. They are the same weight as stock and at least compared to my factory WS6 have a far better finish. The only difference is that they don't have the GM cast in them.
