AWESOME! But then I really like five spoke wheels and then the chrome is just icing.

I agree. I think they are pretty bad azzz! I have been debating on wheels for a while and I think I finally found what i want.

Keeps a bit of the factory look. Has the chrome shine, not the dull factory polished.

It is 2 inches larger which should look better and keep the ride ok. It is 10 inches wide so should give it a squaty mean look!

I think I am sold on these. Anyone else want to comment?

I'm guessing that they would be mucho bucks for the real thing from GM.

No Matter what the price. I would buy the replica's over the real GM.

Do you agree the polish on the factory 20's is horrible? Does anyone agree? They are so dull, and have spots or clouds on them. Very weird/cheap looking.

I agree that the polish on the 20" stock wheels leaves something to be desired. I saw another post where someone had theirs chrome for around $700-$800 if I remember right. But I like the SSs even better. Think the offset will work?

Not worth paying to chrome them when I can upgrade to these for the same amount after I sell mine.

As for fitment, it is perfect. They are made in a +30 offet, our 07 are +31 offset. The wheel is 1.5 inches wider, so you will lose a little inner clearance, around 1/2 inch, and they will stick out a little more than 1/2 inch. That is perfect to me. I am excited, I think these will look great and is exactly what I want! Probably getting some tomorrow, I am searching the net now to find the best price.

Let us know how the tire pressure sensors fit.

They are pretty good looking.

I agree, the polished factory 20's are dull, but I believe that is due to the clearcoat on them. You can have clear put on any polished wheels, but they do tell you that it makes them a bit duller. I'm ok with it though because they are easy as heck to clean. My chrome wheels on my truck aren't even a year old and are showing signs of pitting. I think the clearcoat will be much easier to maintain.

The sensors have me a bit worried. However, the wheels were designed for the newer Chevrolet vehicles so I would assume they will hold the sensors fine. I will try and find all this information out and let you guys know.
