Are these 20" rims original?

[Ameen]

Hi everybody,

I have just bought a 2008 yukon and I feel uncomfortable with noise from wheels when driving on speed of 80 mph and above. I have installed new good yeer tires of size 285/50/20. I need your help to decide whether these rims are original or not. Have a look on them in the link please..

those are real GM, but I believe these are accessory wheels. Robbie will confirm for sure. I have seen these on many yukons here in texas. Just dont know if its a SLT or stock thing

Here is the wheel from the forum he posted

Yep. Original wheel. Not an accessory wheel tho, that's a production wheel.

Thanks for quick replay..

On the back written "made in china".. Are original wheels made in china?! And do 20" cause noise on 80mph and above? I am thinking of replacing them with 17".. What do you advise, will the noise disappear ?

 

[THE YETI]

Everything is made in China. Lol.

It's the wheel that is making noise? Or the tire?

I believe those wheels are chrome clad, which means they are basically a chrome hubcap over a steel wheel. I guess that can cause a noise over 80, but I have never heard of that issue.

Good yeer tires.. mmmm.. I am new on these cars actually.. have you or anybody had this issue with good yeer tires or heard about it?

I have factory GM 20's on my avalanche and there is no noise coming from the rims or tires... you sure it's the rims?

What brand of tires do you use? Because I use good year..

I just bought some brand new tires a few months ago... Nitto Terra Grappler's. I think my stock tires that came with the vehicle were goodyears and I couldn't hear any noise coming from those either.
