GM is on a drunk again. Why would they ship 8 wheels as a package when it's NOT an accessory wheel, NOT an LPO wheel. It's the wheel the car left the plant on. I ordered 1 for a customer that damaged a wheel, and today got 8.

They do it this way to make more $$.

I checked the part in ADP and it shows a multiple quantity of one, not eight.

I guess ADP is trying to help the general sell more wheels.

Are you sure about it not being an LPO?

"39032068 WHEEL KIT, AL (12.7682 KGS) (INSTALL .30) WT67 ALUM WHEEL (RQA),ACCESSORY ALUM WHEEL (SHH),BUICK (Z7Z),** DEALER INSTALLED LPO/ACCESSORY PART PACKAGE (YM8) ** 2016-2017 04 450.00 10B 3440A"

And why are they even putting LPO part number wheels in the general parts catalog group.
LPO numbers belong in the 21.000 accessory part group.

Last time I got burned I contacted my DMA and they sent me return labels for the 4 I didn't need.

Here's the problem with several of these wheels. From GlobalConnect for 39032068: "GM Min. Buy Qty: 8 Dist. Qty: 8 Merchandise Qty: 1".
Of course, you can't see GM Min. Buy Qty or Dist. Qty on ADP/CDK/WTF.
I have complained about this when talking to SPAC trying to head them off from shipping a pallet full of wheels. They are aware of the problem but nothing changes.

Positive. All the cars have 1 of 2 wheels, neither are shipped separate to the dealer as an LPO. It might be a port LPO, but not a dealer LPO.

OK, Just askin.

sounds like you got 7 damaged wheels to send back

No, actually it wasn't hard at all. GM screwed up, it's supposed to be an 8 pack from Austria to GM, not 8 to the dealer, they are already gone.
