Default F/S 1996 original GM Grand Sport rims ##SOLD##

These are not replicas, to be clear. I had them refinished black, machined lip, clear coat. Multi step process with cure in between. They are probably better finish than the original.

No tires have been mounted.

They are not available from GM as far as I know.

$2,500 plus shipping & insurance & Paypal fees (if used).

Thanks.

Thanks.

I'll put them up on Ebay soon.
Good luck with your sale. I have two primo GM 9.5/17 93-96 perfect condition Sawblades L&R that I want $500.00 for the pair. People think I'm nuts for asking $500 for both. It appears you have very good equipment here, Don't give them away!

Thanks Vette Daddy, yes these are coupe rims.


17x11x50mm rear
17x9.5x56mm front

weights A-Mold GM original

Front 20.5lb
Rear 22.0lb

compare to reproduction (Performance Wheel Outlet for example)

Front 27.0lbs
Rear 30.0lbs

OEM are stronger AND lighter.

These rims are rare, excellent condition, ready for show or track. Before I had them refinished I used them on my 1996 LT4 Coupe and my 2004 C5Z. They balance with very little weight, look cool, and 17" tires cost a lot less than 18/19/etc.

I do not have lugnuts or center caps but both are available from many sources.

Thanks all.

Thanks for the post charley95.

These are possibly one of the nicest sets of GS rims in the country available for sale.

I'm in no hurry to sell, so no lowball offers, please.

Man I wish I could afford these. I'm trying to get rid of my mint condition staggered chrome sawblades off my 94. Until those go (I'm asking 1500 w/tires), I can't get any GS wheels lol. Good luck with the sale, I REALLY want these

Thanks for the interest, these will really be the "finishing touch" on whatever car they go on.
