Exclamation 56F wheels are in, but...

I was under the impression that the 56F wheels were $2k because they are a second set of wheels and tires (you keep the normal wheels that come on the car as well). However, my 56F wheels finally arrived at the dealer and they said they are just swapping the rims. So not only do I not get to keep the original set, but the tires from the originals are going on the new rims. I don't want to go to battle about this without having as much information as possible on my side. As of right now, I only have what I've read here which I don't feel the dealer will find as a credible source.

You keep both. Contact GM. Otherwise cancel and buy the rims with the $2k. Crooks.

They've had my car for 6 hours and still don't have the wheels on the car. Their excuse is that they're having trouble with the tires and sent them out because they have to be stretched and they don't want to mess it up. Wtf are they doing!??? I went on Chevy's chat support thing and the person was no help at all. At first they said I shouldn't get both sets then I kept explaining and then they just said I don't know.

Get your car out of there asap! They're full of $#!+ about stretching and you keep both sets.

Just so I get all of this straight, you guys who got the 56F. You got basically two sets of wheels and tires or two sets of wheels, one of which remained with tires?

Do the standard wheels use different tires because they just damaged one trying to get the standard ones on the lpos

From what I know, the 56f wheels are the same dimensions as the regular wheels, so they shouldn't be struggling to mount them.

Am I correct?

Thank you all for all of your help! That's why I love this forum, you guys are the best. I went and talked to the manager and straightened everything out. Unfortunately, they damaged a tire and don't have another so im stuck in a rental until they get one but in the end it all works out still. Thanks again
