Help With Original Rims?

I was wondering if anyone knew how much a new set of rims would cost me. I am not sure what they are actually called... they have the "fan" look to them? I was told by my local pontiac dealer that they have been discontinued.

This is my first post / time here... so thanks in advance for anyone's help!

If you are talking about the 15" "Turbo Fin" wheels that KITT wore along with the black "bowling ball" hubcaps... they are expensive. I think $500+ was the normal going rate.

Re: Help With Original Rims?

those are the base model ie: the lowest model 15" rim pontiac had. There are 16" that are similar but those are 15". Also they show be no more than "a dime a dozen"! They were installed on literally 100,000 plus cars. Very easy to find cheap. good luck

Bumping your thread after 30 minutes is a bit obnoxious.

Re: Help With Original Rims?

they go for $100-200 on ebay all day long. If, and I say if, you found a set with the clear coat in excellent condition, pay top dollar (up to $250) otherwise buy a $100 set and have them restored (unless it's for a driver)for another $250 and then you will have a show quality set.
