Has a dealer gone out of the way for you?

[nomech]

While anything is possible, I guess I'm trying to see how realistic this request would be.

If a dealer has a vehicle I want, but that vehicle doesn't have the wheels that I want, how realistic is it for the dealer to acquire the wheels I want and swap them with the wheels on the vehicle?

Basically, I found a tahoe with 22s, but I'm looking for one with 24s (the ones with 24s are harder to find in the combo I want with the options I want). Could the dealer find the 24s (parts department) and swap them with the 22s?

Ignore the money aspect, for now, that's a different conversation, I'm just curious if dealers could do that and/or if it is common to do that to make a sale.


Having said that, has the dealer gone out of the way, for you, to close a sale? If so, what did they do?

If money is no concern, then it is a simple ask. Please quote a price on the accessory 24" wheels, P/N XXXXXXX. Also quote the required tires for these new wheels. If you give me a good price, I will close the deal.
You can then negotiate with the dealer on if he will buy the other rims from you, take them on trade, or if you keep them, you can sell them for cash.

Dealers swap wheels/sell accessory wheels all the time on trucks, not sure why it would be different on SUV's. Ask.

You can also go to chevrolet.com, shop, accessories, and buy your wheels that way. Often they have coupons/promos if you spend a certain amount you get 10-15% off. Be worth having that number in your head when you talk to the dealer...so you know where to negotiate from.

It's not that money isn't a concern, I was just leaving money out of it since it would just be something that is part of the negotiation. I was more asking if it was common or not. I've never negotiated swapping out wheels.

The other issue is that I can't find the particular wheel on any GM part site, but I know there has to be a way to buy the wheel. I don't have a part number, I only have a description of the wheel.

24-inch RF2 wheel on 2025 Tahoe/Suburban High Country

Do you know where I can find that part number?

I could have sworn I checked there and couldn't find them, I will check right now.

Edit- Yeah, that site looks familiar, I've checked there, they don't have the 24 x 9 wheel. I went to wheels and tires and sorted by highest price to lowest price and I don't see anything 24 x 9 listed.

May be too new, there are a couple 24" options in there, but maybe not the ones you want...

I don't see any 24s listed for 2025 tahoe.

I don't see any 24s listed for 2025 tahoe.

crop a image of the wheel in question and do a google lens search, that should give you a path to finding the wheel part number.

Don't love those, but they are indeed 24"

Interesting, those aren't coming up in my search results.

Edit- Those aren't the ones I'm looking for.
