Has a dealer gone out of the way for you?

On the Chevrolet website when building a Tahoe/Suburban the 24” rims you’re after are available to add as an option.

They are a $2,225 wheel option. Keep in mind I had the Suburban High Country already selected which comes standard with 22” rims. The $2,225 adder is on top of the 22” rims that come standard.

When you go to add them to the vehicle they require a bunch of other options as a “package” that add a total of $6,560 worth of options to the vehicle purchase.

Personally I think you would be setting yourself up to be let down if you think you can get a dealer to procure these 24” rims for no additional charge as a negotiation to close a sale. If they were an extra $500, maybe. Dealers don’t make much margin off new vehicle sales it’s all made on pre-owned vehicle sales and service. But hey the worst they could say is no.

It would be realistic that they may offer you a deal by trading in the 22” rims that come on the vehicle you buy as credit towards the purchase price of the 24” rims.

It may also be very possible that those particular 24” rims are not available unless the dealership happens to have a similar vehicle on the lot with the $6,560 package added to its build that includes the rims. If that is the case the dealership may ask for more than the $2,225 for the 22” to 24” wheel trade.

The 24” rims definitely have an OEM GM part number. The question is can they be purchased by themselves through a GM OEM parts dealer.

There are a couple brand new take offs listed on eBay reasonably priced per rim compared to getting through a GM dealership.

Also in one of the eBay auctions there’s a pic of the back side of the rim with a number stamped into it;

GM 84949593

That might be the part number but a quick google search of “GM 84949593” does not appear to bring up anything related to that 24” rim.

This is why I stated not to bring up money. I just want some help from the dealer. I'd buy these outright on my own if I could get them online or from the parts department.

I know I can add them in the build process, that's how I am searching for vehicles and I'm having a hard time because none are located near me. There are more results if I use 22s vs 24s, that's why I was considering buying one with 22s then getting the 24s later.

Thanks for your post, I'm looking into those links.

I also like the 22s that you posted, but I think I like the 24s just a bit more. Either option is fine with me, but I'm in the research stage which is why I'm asking and looking at options.

Dealer will mostly do what you want if it is in a reasonable realm of reality to make it happen, but don't be surprised that the markup/price is pretty unreasonable.... Because they know if you bring it up more than once that you mostly really want it....

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?

What i was once told is they have to sell the truck as received. U can make the deal to change 5 minutes after the sale. I only drive on Michelins so bought the truck then signed the w/o to change the tires. And paid a 110$ each. Also had them send the mags to a powder coat shop and turned them black. I've removed all chrome and changed to black.

I have seen plenty on new vehicles with different rims on them. It's just another add on in the dealer window sticker where they add all the other crap.

they lied.

Not sure why anyone would want the 24 inch option. I test drove several Tahoes, and every one of them with the 22's was a notably harsher ride than the 20's or smaller. Those 24's must be brutal.

I have 22s on my current tahoe and I think it rides fine. I wouldn't say it is the best ride I've had, but it doesn't bother me or feel harsh.

The 24s with less tire will sacrifice some ride comfort, no disagreement there, but I think they look better than the 22s. I also drove a HC with air ride and 24s and it rode nice, but it was also a test drive and I only drove on 'normal' roads, nothing crazy.
