SS Silverado Wheels........Made in China????
Went and looked at a set of SS silverado wheels and it had stamped in the inside of the wheels. GM, 20x8.5, and Made in China. Are these stock GM wheels or are they replicas? He wanted $250 each and I thought that was kinda high for used wheels and I wanted to make sure I was getting the real GM wheels. So are they replicas?

OK, do you know anyone in our area selling a set? I bought a new 2007 Silverado Classic work truck. I got it because the cammed Z28 is down and it was my daily driver. I got the work series truck because it was cheap and had all the features I like. I like the manual mirrors, seats, windows, vinal floor and the toe package. I wasn`t to impressed with the looks of the truck untill I tinted the windows and installed the Extang bed cover and it is starting to look more like a fixed up truck. I want to go with the SS whees because I don`t like to stick out alot and since they are factory wheels maby, and I said maby no one will be as tempted to steal it. I`m also thinking about getting a sway bar set or maby just doing polly bushigs up front and adding a sway bar out back. I got enough attention in the Z28. Also I don`t want to attract the attention of the law if I decide to have a few beers with the fellas after work. Let me know if the SS wheels say made in China fellas.

I had a set of corvette wheels that I sent to the chrome shop. They took my original GM wheel that said made in the USA and sent me back a wheel that was chrome and said made in china. I called the shop back and they said that some of GM's wheels are made in china and some are made here. I dont know if he was just blowing smoke up my *** or not but that is what he said.

GM recently transferred some if not all of their aluminum wheel production to China. A couple of factories here in Indiana closed down as a result. Your Chinese made wheel could be one of the newer GM wheels.
