I vote for Factory Reproductions. High quality. Don't let people steer you to those cheap EBay ones with a brand name nobody has heard of. And @NathanJax is great to work with.

So people actually opt to buy cheap-ass wheels that easily bend or crack, rather than spending some more on decent wheels with structural integrity? Really??

Yep, when you can’t find the wheels you want in OEM you do. I mean no one says you have to, but don’t rip someone a new ass because they do. Besides that.....the wheels I bought would have cost me over $500.00 per wheel. I spent $745.00 for what I bought....I’ll take my chances.....

1 year warranty on those...

I offer 2 year finish warranty and lifetime structure warranty.


That's the difference between replica companies. Standing behind their product, and making sure they are made correctly and not cheap to sell sell sell....
My buddies are going 2+ years on their wheels. Some on 28's Texas Editions from eBay. I saved $700 on my Dubs I just bought. Albeit not thru eBay directly, but thru a friend that buys from a west coast distributor.

Didn't mean to hurt your feelings, friend. I have gone down the cheap path a lot of times and almost always regretted it. I learned the hard way, and more times than I care to admit.

It's no exaggeration to state that running cheap wheels on an automobile is risky business, as in potentially risking damage or injury due to wheel failure. But adults must make their own decisions based on their own comfort level, and that's fine.

Good luck and safe driving.

MHT and Lexani produce these wheels in the same spot our wheels are made, https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-NEW-24-G...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l9372

These guys quoted me 2 year structural and 1 year finish
https://www.ebay.com/itm/24-Fits-GM...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l9372

https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-NEW-24-G...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l9372

just offer $200 less and these guys will come through as well.

$1400 shipped for 22's with tires mounted and balanced, or $1600 for 24's with wheels and tires.

Why are you trying so hard? You're comparing apples and oranges too. I did my due diligence when I bought mine. For the exact same style I was looking for, I could find 2 other companies that made the same looking wheel, both had 1 year structural and rumors of possible balancing issues. For $100 less that the Factory Reproductions I bought from @NathanJax for 4 wheels. And I wanted to choose my tires. They sell crap tires on those combo deals. Some people don't mind taking chances, some of us would rather not. The OP asked for the best place to buy them, not the cheapest. BTW why don't you answer the PM's I sent you?

GM warranty = 1-3yr, or 12-36k Miles
Factory Reproductions = lifetime.

Let that sink in on who backs their products.. ;)

I’ve sold hundreds of both. Both are made in China.

Any wheel you hit a hole with is bound to bend. If it doesn’t, you’re lucky.

Had Factory Reproduction SRT-10 reps on my 2012 Durango RT and thought they were excellent quality.

Stay away from OEWheels. I bought mine and was very happy for about 12 months. Then as soon as the 1 year warranty expires, the finish began to chip off. Looks awful....spend some extra cash and go with quality. I won’t make that mistake again.

If you're on instagram, Ben_edwards_bts38 is a good guy to follow regarding replica wheels. The same folks on here that talk about "doing it right" are some of the same that throw pnp HIDs and LED into a factory housing lol

I PM'ed him because I sell wheels... that are probably made better and come with a better warranty

I plan on buying some "cheap" replica 22s or 24s for my Sierra in the next week or so. As mentioned already and from personal experience...the name brand and more expensive wheels and tires bend/crack/peel the same if not more than cheap wheels and tires.

Just take care of them and wash/clean them once every week or so and even the cheap wheels will last you years with no problems.

What am I looking at in prices? I'm in the Dallas area and can get some 22s with tires for about 1250. 24s with tires for about 1450.
Thats of course with cheap tires but again I don't really care since I've had good luck with the cheap stuff before.
