I need a wheel for a 2018 GMC

I bought a new truck a couple months ago and busted a rim on it. Part # 20937765 polished 6-y spoke rim 20"X9". The GMC dealer wants $550.00 for a new one.

No luck at the junkyards? I realize it’s kind of new, but you’d think they could find one in their network?

Last year we had a bad rim on my wife’s Silverado and couldn’t find one at the yards. I went to a local mom and pop tire shop and they have a place that refurbishes rims. They found a matching rim for about $175. Looks better than the ones that were on the truck. I have no idea who they used though. I’m sure there are at least a few around the country

The same wheel was used from 2014-2018 but there are none available locally. I can buy a refurbished one online for $314.00 with a two week money back guarantee and a 20% refund if I return the core. But, I am kind of anal about buying something sight unseen. The Moultrie swap meet is in November if I don't find one before then.

There are usually late model truck wheels on ebay where the owners have upgraded to a lift kit and larger wheels and tires

I found four in Powder Springs, Ga. I am going to drive up Saturday if they are still available.

I just gotta ask this. Who was driving when the wheel was damaged, you, or your wife?

:pound:

I was. I turned off a side street onto the main road and my right rear wheel dropped into a low spot in the road. That pulled the wheel into a metal drain culvert. Imagine the two roads paved at a 90 degree angle but the curb is rounded. There is a drop off between the paving and the curb. And the drain is raised up perpendicular with the paving and made of metal.
Is this clear as mud?

So you were in the truck by yourself at the time...….LOL

Just going from your signature statement...…………:)

My wife does all the driving, I just hold the steering wheel.

Yeah, I was. But she was with me in spirit! :D
