One of the few moments in a dog's life when it wishes there was a cat around somewhere to help.

Since I ended up just using my stock tires, it was simple to just remove and reinstall them on the new rims. All that holds them in place is a single screw. I will say if you buy new sensors buy the AC Delco ones and not ones made by a company called doorman. You will save yourself a lot of headaches by getting the OE AC Delco ones.

lol now I'm thinking about just getting the wheels and tire combo. so much hassle to get the wheels then go shopping for tires. pay extra to have them put the tires and wheels together and balance them, just ugh.... I just want to get them and put them on the moment I get them

It costs more, but you also get the security of a full set of spares.

should be it says:"Wheels (set of 4) & Wheel/Tire Packages
All packages include mounting/balancing, GM OEM TPM sensors, lug nuts and wheel locks"


now if I want the upgrade to the AC Delco TPM Sensors its $169 for all 4
and if I want the gorilla lug nuts and locks its $40 for all 4

I wonder if these two upgrades are worth it.

I would def get the gorilla lugs, last thing you want is your brand new wheels getting stolen and have your car sitting on cinder-blocks.

That is why you put LS rims on your car. No one wants them.

exactly! no one wants these wheels. funny story though, was at a local cruise in and met some member of the bluff city Camaro club (I'm now a member yay!) and I told them you can take the silver rings off. then took one off and they didn't know lol. their faces were so funny as they touched and held the ring.
