Doesn't matter what they look like, or what style, just round and good lip/bead.

I have two sets of 16 x 8" gta rear wheels (these are 16mm offset). I used them on my A-sedan firebird but have since switched to a different wheel. You will need thin (1/8" or 3/16") spacers to use on the front to clear the LS1 caliper. I do not know if these will clear the front caliper on the earlier non-ls1 cars. I believe, but am not certain, that they will work fine with stock length wheel studs. Both sets I have have goodyear dot race tires on them from late '05/ early '06. Those tires are mostly used up, but not corded yet (but not competitive anymore; at least 7 heat cycles on each tire, and old. but maybe good for a few track days?) One of the fronts is corded on the outer edge due to a loose a-arm, causing a bad toe in condition.

These wheels are all straight, but the clearcoat is mostly gone. But they look fine at 20' and 20 mph. 4 of these were gold originally but have been resprayed black. The other 4 are original black. I also have a pair of 3/16" wheel spacers available.

With tire, I would like $75 each ($300/set). (again, tires are probably only good for a track day or two, not competitive)
For rims only, I'd like $50 each ($200/set).

If you are unfamiliar, see this post to see what they look like.

If memory serves, they weigh about 17-18 lbs. each on my bathroom scale.
I am near Indianapolis.
I will be at Autobahn SCCA national in Joliet IL on July 14-15; and can deliver there.
Email if interested. briandoll@comcast.net
I can also email pictures.

Thanks Brian, but I'm looking for a bone stock set of wheels, salad shooters, snow flakes, 5 spoke. Factory offset. If I don't find any though I'll get in touch with you.

I have 4-16x8 white Camaro 5 spoke, no center caps. Black or silver paint would likely improve appearance.

Original GM wheels. Good supply of brake dust on them but they are true.

They have rock hard victoracers on them (tires have no value, in fact negative value since they need to come off)

Located in Gainesville florida. Would prefer not to ship but will ship if you pay the ship costs.

Can email you photos if you need them. I paid $200 for the set 4 years ago. Theyve been stored for 3 years.

Make offer.

I have 4 near new firebird takeoffs I got from SLP a few years ago. I've have used them for snow tires, which are still on them. They are still in near perfect condition and have center caps. If you're interested, let me know what they are worth to you.
