You will be waiting for awhile. GM parts is notorious for taking long to ship items. Also you can not return the wheels if they have some imperfections. There was a guy on here who ordered them from GM and he had some imperfections and was unable to return them. Try pace performance. They are pretty good on shipping. Ask them if they will take the wheels back if there is some damage.

I would like to interject here, if I may.....

First off, i ordered that set from my local Chevy dealer (part # 12498899) the same day I read this tread (like a couple hours before actually). At first, the parts manager called 2 places before he could find the warehouse that actually could call up that part number. Once he was able to match the part number, he couldn't get over the fact that you can get all 4 wheels, lugnuts, lugnut covers, and center caps for that price. So, i got home all happy and everything. However, once I read your response, my heart started to pound thinking that I just got ripped off.

So, today comes along, and i get a call from the dealer telling me that my wheels are in, so, I drive down there to pick them up. When i get there, i proceeded to ask him questions based on what i read in this tread in regards to defects, no GM stamp, etc. and this is what he told me.....

First off, the rims are NOT remanufactured. If they were, they 1) would of needed to be indicated in the item description and 2) wouldn't of come from GM directly. Yes, you CAN get remanufactured wheels thru a dealer, but, they would come from a remanufacturer (at a fraction of the cost) 3) if there were any defects with any of the rims, the dealer said that they would put a claim in for me....................So, to make sure I didn't get junky rims, i opened each box (which were all nicely packaged btw) and looked at each rim individually. There IS the GM stamp on them.......I couldnt find ANYTHING wrong with the clearcoat/paintjob and all the accessories was included as indicated in the description. HOWEVER! I did noticed a VERY, and I mean VERY small blemish (like someone took a pin and poked it) in the clearcoat on the face of one of the rims. You need to be within 12" to even be able to notice it. So, not to argue with your story, but, I couldn't find anything wrong with these rims. My best guess is that they were refinished because there MIGHT of been an imperfection on them at the assembly line that a quality control person picked out and GM just decided to sell them separately for a fraction of the cost rather than tossing an otherwise perfectly good rim away. All in all, i'm perfectly happy with the rims and i'm glad I was able to get them at this cost.

Thank you.

btw, by ordering them from my local Chevy dealer, i only paid $778 total including tax.

i'm doing the exact same thing. Since they dont make the 10-spoke chrome rims anymore and also the fact that they are just starting to flake, I would like to put them away. I dont understand the flaking part though. They have been on the car since new and I only have 6100 miles on the car now. Never been outside except on a sunny, summer day.......no rain, snow, and probably doesn't even know what a cloud looks like.

Thanks for posting this. I have been wanting to get me a few of these wheels to go on my 35th le so I can have an extra set for drag radials.

I'll go to the dealership and get them. $778 is not a bad price.

no, not a bad price at all........they sold me the wheel kit for $741 and then 5% sales tax for Massachusetts.............better hurry though, when i ordered mine, the guy said that there were only 3 left.......dont know geographically what that encompassed whether regionally or nationally, but, I didnt' want to take a chance.

good luck
