Chevy oem parts people

So last night I'm driving home from Washington and I'm about a half hour from home on this dark back road and raining like crazy...Needless to say I hit this pot hole must have been a foot deep with both tires on the passenger side ...All my lights lite up advising to check tire pressure Thank god there was a Hess gas station a few hundred yards down the street...Yep bent both OEM chorme rims one tire was flat and the other tire has a big bubble on the side

1.Does anyone know of a site I can get these rims..

2.Should I just take the car to Chevy tomorrow and suck up the $$$$$

3.Or should I just order the rims through Chevy and have someone else mount the new tires and rims

Any ideas

Hear are the rims...thanks

It will be hard to find the oem wheels being those are the new style. I am sure chevy price will be $400 a wheel which is typical for non steelies. If it were me I would get aftermarket wheels and sell the other 2 good oem wheels on ebay/craigslist.

Check with your insurance. If your deductable is $300 or under, you would only have to shell out no more than $300 total.

I don't like low profile tires because there is not much rubber between a pothole and the rim.

Consider getting the smaller diameter rim so you have more rubber.

I feel your pain. I had the same thing happen to me a month or so ago. Good luck finding replacements that aren't an arm and a leg

You have 2 choices at this point.Buy used from a private owner or pony up for new GM pieces from a dealer(maybe file an insurance claim?)or Schram's if you're very lucky.GM has instituted a core charge on their aluminum wheels which you'll have to pay if you buy new from a dealership.That's to keep damaged units from getting repaired and being resold.You'd get the core charge back when the dealer got your old wheels.
