I realize there are probably better sites to post this but thought I’d try here first. I’m looking for a very nice to excellent set of 4 GN wheels. The reason is I still have my original set with original tires on the on one of my GN’s. I want to drive it a little more (it has 6000 miles currently) and don’t trust the tires anymore and don’t really want to toss them either. They would be retained for show use only. Who has what and how much? Are the aluminum duplicates any good? Thanks!
I found these...........https://racine.craigslist.org/wto/d/powers-lake-buick-grand-national-oe/6845265146.html
Bard, The aluminum reproductions are a nice wheel and will get you into a modern size tire package. Not correct though.
Oh, I know they are not correct but from what I'm seeing available used, they look to be a good alternative. $200 with caps, lug nuts & tire valve to me is a good buy considering the used OEM ones that Nick posted are $100 each and would need all of those things (BTW, thanks Nick!). And in reality, 99.99% of the people today would not know the difference between the two, especially at a local show & shine. So are all the aluminum ones the same wheel or are there differences?
The aluminum "GN look-a-like" wheels that I have seen have been 17 inch or larger, so there is a SIGNIFICANT difference... ( And we WILL deduct points for them LOL)
Not on this car. LOL! When being judged, it will wear its original OEM wheels, tires, caps, gray valve stem caps, etc. Still with Michigan air in the tires! The one's I'm looking at are 15" and do look pretty close. They are stock size, 15 x 7.
You may also want to consider GNX wheels since they are more plentiful from a GTA. They are 16X8 and only weigh 18 pounds. You'll put your GN wheels on for shows, right?
There is a vendor that has 4 of the aluminum reproduction 15 x 7 rims, center caps, valve stems and lug nuts for $650 INCLUDING shipping. Tamarz is the vendor...ever hear of them? Out of Chicagoland area....
Ya know Brad, if you do happen to find the right wheels for your GN, you can start hangin' with these guys.........
