Hi all,

My Tahoe came with the 22's on it, but I have been considering stepping up to 24's and eventually doing a slight drop on it. I have always been a fan of keeping a production look to my vehicles so my question is if anyone has had experience dealing with companies like Factory Reproductions, etc? I found the OE replicas in 24 inch that look sharp in photos. Just wondering about quality. The one manufacturer gave a lifetime structural warranty but only two years in finish. Am I better off looking into some of the true aftermarket manufacturers like Giovanni, Gianelle, KMC, etc?

Appreciate your help!

Most of them are pretty good. If you take care of them you shouldn't have any issues

considering not any aftermarket wheel will give you more than one year on the finish, I'd say Factory Reproductions warranty is pretty solid.

If you are in the market for their 24", let me know. I've sold a few sets. For the most part they are great wheels, I've had one bad wheel come through, but they swapped it out without any problems.

Hope this helps...

I'd also take your stock wheels in as trade. :)

Thanks for the replies. Factory Repro does seem to be a good company based on reviews. Yeah my 22's are the bright machined manoogian. I think they are the CK161 wheel. I like them a lot, but just want to try a little larger. They have about 2300 miles on them if anyone would be interested. I would like to try and get $2300 for wheels and tires if I do decide to sell. They are a $3000 option through the dealer.

Yeti I will let you know which ones I am looking at when I get home later. Thanks for the offer.
