Source for 18" OEM wheels (for winter)?

I have a '15 Sierra CCSB AT in Iridium. My current wheels are the standard All Terrain 20s (275/55R20). I'm looking to pick up a set of winter wheels and tires. My plan is to go with 18" wheels combined with tires that will yield as close a diameter as possible to the stock setup (so either 265/65R18 or 255/70R18).

 

I typically prefer OEM but I can't find anywhere to buy 18" OEM wheels - the GMC accessories site only shows 20" and 22" wheels. Has anybody found a way? (I will admit that I haven't called my dealer - I will certainly do that today).

 

My backup plan is to go with the Enkei wheels recommended by Tire Rack listed below. I'm hoping that the gunmetal finish is a decent match to the Iridium Metallic on my truck.

 

Thanks.

Check your local Craigslist. There are about a dozen sets here locally, starting around $600 with tires and TPMS.

Hey I have a set with tires and tpms that I took off my truck when I lifted it. Let me know if you are interested.

Also you might look for 17 inch rims. Seems that some of the Silverado's had those factory, maybe Sierra's also. I assume lower trim levels.

 

I agree with others, Craigslist.

Are easy to find, and really, really cheap. Great for snow tires.

Be aware that the life of the old TPMS sensor battery might be close to the end of its life span. You might just want to buy new ones right off the hop. I hear you get about 6 years out of them but i guess that depends.

Suggest you try Ebay

 

Recently saw a set of 17" aluminum wheels with tires and TPMS (just like my OEM setup in my Profile Pic) for around $800. Have seen 18" wheels, tires & TPMS for about $1200

 

These are essentially OEM take offs at shops doing wheel & tire upgrades. I suppose they offer their customer a few bucks in trade and then list them on Ebay. Some even offer free shipping.

 

Good luck!
