hi Optiman, I'm looking at this old post because of the wheels, I see you say you put new wheels and tires onto the purple vette, do you still have the sawblade wheels that would have been on here? I'm trying to find some. And I didn't know you could fit the GS rims and tires on a base car, were there any modifications needed to the wheel hub? just curious as I'm looking for rims but was going to put on 17x9.5 size for all 4 tires at 275 wide. can you let me know? thanks!

thanks mazdaverx7, but i wasn't asking about car, i was asking about the old rims, what happened to them? i was wondering if he sold them to an auto wrecker where they might still be, or did he sell them with the car, or my biggest hope, are they still sitting in his garage? just looking for machine polished sawblade rims. it's harder to find local parts in Canada and he's not too far from me. thanks!
