Opinions on OE Replica wheels

[zolt11]

Nice wheels love the exhaust tips! How much was Corsa exhaust system? Did you have dealer install it? How does the exhaust sound compared to stock? I like the stock rumble and am looking for just a little more not a rice burner or dragster. Can you attach a audio file or youtube clip?

My exhaust situation is a little different. I live near Corsa headquarters in Cleveland. They were looking for someone to loan them a 2015 for product development. I loaned them my Tahoe for 3 weeks so they could test and build a new one for us. Lucky for me, the exhaust comes free at the end. They provide the Volant CAI as well. The CAI is ready for purchase now, the exhaust should be ready to order in October sometime. I have seen them anywhere from $900 to $1200 for newer Tahoes. They fit mine with the Sport. Sound is awesome. For me not too bad at all. Zero noise while cruising. Start up is deep and mean. If you don't want much more than stock than you should wait for the Touring. Sport is great though. I will work on getting a sound clip.

Here is a close up of the wheel and bowtie I added.

Thanks for the close ups that looks sweet! Those are my favorite replicas by far. Doesn't it seem that these new models should come stock with 22's and optional OEM 24's.

Holy crap! Thank you for posting this tonight.. I was laughing so hard at this post.

Ahh Black lugs would good. I just used the factory lugs, but I may have to invest. GoodInBlack.....not surprised you agree with that...lol

JMitchell, yes 22's should be the new standard for those of us who choose looks over ride quality. I never thought the 22's felt too bad though myself. I can feel a little difference in the 24's, but for the complements I have received so far it is well worth it. Just have to have the tire shop re-balance for me as I have some shaking at highway speeds.

I was going to get the CK156 in 22" for my 2015 WD Yukon XL and I have been trying very hard to fight off my demons in getting 24's. You killed me with your pictures. They are beautiful.

You mentioned you get shaking, is it bad quality on the repro wheels or just balancing? I dont want to buy something that isnt quality but to get that look you have in 24, there is no other way. Please let me know how you feel in the drive and bumps and does the car feel heavier?

Thanks for your help.

My 24" reps are only 1lb heavier than my oem 22's.
