How much demand is there for a set of 4 1984/85 wheels with original Gatorbacks mounted?

Somebody doing a NCRS 84 would be all over them. So probably not too many people.

Standard or Z51? I might consider them to get to 50 series tires instead of the harsh riding 40 series my 93 requires.

Are they making 16 inch tires again?

Offset is wrong for a 93.

More '84s are probably being parted out/scrapped than restored.
