replacement wheels

[Steve-Maine]

The alum. wheels on my 06 2500Hd are pited bad from the good old road salt.  I found some replacemant wheels online for $122.81   Are they as good as having the old wheels machined down. Thanks

Steve there are companies that will strip and polish your wheels ( I paid $150.00 ea wheel) 

however if you dont want to spend the $$ to do so, go the replacement route.

Kick me an e-mail ([email protected]) I might be interested in purchasing your old wheels?

Places like this usually buy the pitted, corroded, flaking wheels and refinish them, then turn around and resell them.  They'd likely buy your current wheels, refinish them, then turn around and resell them for 2-3x more than what they paid you for them.

 

My daughter busted 2 wheels when she hit a curb a few years ago in her Trailblazer.  Junk yards and GM parts sites wanted right at $400 per wheel.  I found a place online that sold refurbished/refinished wheels and got 2 wheels for $200 each.  They had been scratched and pitted and then refinished.  You couldn't tell the difference between them and a set of new wheels.
