So the daughter bends a wheel on her truck.
I purchase a genuine GM replacement wheel at a excellent price, about 25% GM retail.

I get the wheel and look it over carefully. It seems to be new and it seems to genuine GM. Only thing, there are grinder marks where the serial/part number go inside the wheel.

I purchased them from Amazon.

OB opinion?

I mean, it came from Amazon?

I figured it would be some replica or reconditioned.

In all seriousness, coming from Amazon I would expect the real deal. I would call and try to see what the selling company says. If you are not satisfied, call Amazon directly and they will take care of you.

That is what I am thinking that this may be. I bought two replica wheels for my old Dodge but they looked great and were cheap too.

That was my assumption, but if they are, they are damn good.
Plus, why grind the serials?


She's bent two and I broke two a few years ago on the Causeway.

This truck seems to have magnetic wheels.

Thats what I don't get. If I recall correctly, I don't even think that my replicas had any serial numbers at all. Just the replica companies logo on the inside.

Gotta keep it between the lines.

Blew two tires, destroyed two rims after hitting someone's space saver rim. 11PM, slight rain.

Kept in straight and true until it grinded to a stop.
The FBI agent that was behind me was impressed.

Don't know...

Seller has a "5" rating on Amazon.

That would be pretty bold to sell them on Amazon.
Looks like they've never been mounted.
