You will have a VERY hard time finding any new ones. GM is charging dealerships $3,000 dollars a set if they don't return them. Might have some luck at a really large dealership if you know someone shady.

10-4, I thought it was $1500 for tires and wheels. I know they are out there, but a little harder to get these days.

Damn, those are about 15 min from my place. If I can get 1500 - 3000 for them then it would be worth my while

Lol. That's about what they sell for $500. They can be had much cheaper though.

Elaborate

Why these so expensive? What's the deal? Just because they're big steelies?

Supply and demand on this one.

22" flat centered steel wheels. Everyone with an old truck wants a set. They are the wheels gm transports the vehicles to the dealership with then they are retured. If not the dealership is charged.

Me and a buddy tried to find some a while back .... even contacted the manufacturer of the wheels. They won't sell them to the public supposedly because they aren't meant for road use.

There is a helluva market for these things
