Adam, Are you being serious???????? If Not let me know. There were only 6502 Pace car REPLICAS made. They all had the option to have the decals applied at the dealership OR keep them stored. I still have the originals still on the paper. (My dad did'nt like the way they looked, and neither do I. SO they will stay off.

no idea about the wheels, but the car does have 62,000 miles on it so i'm sure the original tires are long gone.
