I CORNER Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 I picked up a fence staple and needed a tire patched. So I decided to rotate the tires and wheel wax the entire rims. This was the first time that I had the wheels off, since I bought the truck in December 2003. Our stock wheels have the GM logo cast into the front hub, but have a "SPEEDLINE" cast into 1 of the spokes of each wheel. Does this mean that Speedline makes them for GM? Has anyone noticed this casting? Rick R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSport Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Mine had that also. GM doesn't make much of anything for there vehicles, they just sub-contract it all out to the cheapest bidder. what a suprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides companies that only make wheels or injectors or whatever can produce a better quality part for less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 N20, The only problem is they do not pass the savings on to us, the are becoming more efficient at building trucks and the prices keep going up and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 To be perfectly honest Speedline doesn't make that bad of rims.... I am kinda surprized that they made this set sooooo HEAVY, but probably had something to do with Chevy's cost-cutting requirements. At least they're strong!

silversport Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 ...or that they're for a truck that might see some hard use...the General still has to cover the warranty issues...I like your stock wheels...was thinking about them for my Avalanche but the consensus here seems to be that it would lead me to wannabe status Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
