Hey everyone. I just picked up my first G and boy do we love it. It has been my wife's bucket list car since she was a little girl and it definitely lives up to the hype. She loves it. It is a perfect addition to our collection. Compared to our other SUV (Diesel Escalade) this thing is so compact and such a wonderful run about car. Based upon the market's reaction we may be the only ones that actually like the EV G/G580/whatever you want to call it. For our usage case, the EV version makes so much sense and we love it but I definitely understand that it is a fairly niche vehicle with limited appeal to the general buying public. One thing I will say is that I hate the wheels. I know they are designed with aerodynamics to maximize range but since we are just driving around town and have a diesel for roadtrips I couldn't care less about range. I have read others that have replaced the stock wheels on the G580 and some have reported no problems with changing sizes whereas others have reported the car being unhappy and it throwing up various errors. I want to avoid the car giving me problems and, tbh, am happy with the stocker 20 inch size as it is the right balance of aesthetics and sidewall for me. Anyway, I would like to pick up a set of stock OEM wheels from the G550. I have attached a pic of what I am looking for.
Does anyone have a set sitting around in good, undamaged condition that they would like to get rid of? If so, let me know and we can work out a deal.
Also, I want to generally thank all of the contributors here. I have lurked this forum for a year learning about the car prior to picking one up and I have learned so much from everyone.
Thanks. I already looked through all of the marketplace listings. Your wheels are nice but not what I am looking for. I wish you the best in selling them.
This is interesting.... so I have the wheels that @phaphaphooey wants, and I want to sell them. And I want the wheels that @eye.surgeon has...! 3 way? How do we figure this out? My only issue - I don't have the truck yet (delivers early Feb.) And it's a surprise for my wife, and she ultimately will make the calls on the wheels. IF she agrees with my plan (that she wants those 19s from @eye.surgeon, instead of our 20s (what @phaphaphooey wants) - then I'm good to go. Just need a couple more weeks on my end, to be certain. Are you 2 still in the market?
mine are still for sale if we can work something out for local pickup or if you arrange for shipping. I know they are the same total diameter as the stock wheels and tires on your G so there shouldn’t be any issues.
