Like the title says, my friend has a set on his 87 firebird (they have spacers, offset is for a corvette) but one is beat up and won't hold air. I've tried searching for a while to find them with no luck. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Hi!
Have you tried Ebay?
Heck, maybe you can contact some Corvette clubs or websites, and post a wanted ad for one.

Good luck,

George

Are they true three piece like my 17" Epsilon's? If so, just take them apart and have a machine shop true it back into shape..

From what I've researched, the rims haven't been made since the mid 90's..

do you have any pics of these wheels?

Here's my 17x9.5 next to a real GTA rim.. Still haven't got around to getting the centers painted gold, but I do have my front spacers and my 4th gen rear ready to go..

I think he's gonna just get a whole new set of wheels, thanks for the help.

Wow!
Those red wheels look great!
Do you have a set of 4?
Want to sell them??

George

Yes and no..

Kevin D.

Bummer!
By chance, do you know the style number, so I can search ebay?
Also, did they come red, or were they painted red by someone?

Thanks,

George

No info on them besides Epsilon. When I was researching them before the purchase and just now, everything under Epsilon rim I found was a three piece crosslace design with a painted center.

Chances are if you save a search for 'Epsilon rim', you find very similar rims.. From my searches, the 17" versions are pretty rare. I found a lot of 14" and 15" sizes for 280's and RX7's.. The 17's were for the C4 corvettes.

If they didn't come from the factory in red, the paintjob conversion was top notch! Best part is I found them right here in the classifieds and got them for $300 shipped!

Damn thats a rock'n deal, those wheels are nice. Do you have a shot showing the lip?

Yeah, since they're corvette offset the lip isn't as much as I would like, but still..
