So I really like the new 22" wheel. Im seeing it as a replica and am curious about the quality. Are the oem cast or forged? Same questionto the replicas?
Do we have vendors here that sell either?

Feast your eyes on a couple of pics of my 22x9's which I just recently received from Tony at TBSS a dealer for Factory Reproductions, right here in this forum.
They are beautiful, and as fussy a bastard that I am I am totally happy-pleased. They will look absolutely killer once I get the tires and get them mounted up.
I also just ordered the GM Lug-Lock Set which I think will look best with these. GM # 17801711.
For $1325 shipped, you cannot go wrong. Shipment direct took exactly 46 hours from time I clicked paypal pay, to the moment they were sitting on my doorstep.
I very much doubt I'm wrong about this, but these factory repro wheels are probably the very exact same wheel you'd get if you walked into a Chevy-GM Dealer.
How many manufacturers in the world would you think are making these? Surely none in America that's for sure! Hell. even a pair of Levis aint even made here anymore.
Walk into your friendly GM Dealer, and I'd bet you'll spend 4 times as much.
And you'll no doubt receive the exact same wheel. Just to see AC/Delco on the Box?
If I bought enough sets, I could probably have my name on the box.
One pic was taken without flash, to beter show them under slightly lower light. Flash can ruin a pic at times.
And I strongly doubt you'll get any GM wheel that is forged, custom from Boyds, or Foose, maybe yeah, GM, or these aftermarkets, no.
Forged, or 2-3 piece wheels? Get ready to empty your bank account.
