Place to buy reconditioned 85-87 16" IROC wheels?

I have done some searching even on ebay. Are there any places that sells or reconditions factory IROC rims?
In particular I am looking to find gold 16" rims but I wont settle for anything they need to be like new or newly reconditioned.
Tax refund is burning a whole im my pocket and am trying to make up my mind what I want. Time for some upgrades!
Thanks guys!

Thank you so so much! I may very well buy those once I get my check in.
Thats a great price too considering what these wheels cost new in the day.
Thank you so so much for finding these.

no problem, its amazing what you can find on ebay.

i do not however have any experience with that seller, so i have no clue of the quality, but they look pretty solid form the pics, and his feedback is perfect

You may also want to consider a local rim refinishing/repair shop.

That's the route I intend to go. Although I'm using a shop called Union Rim in Toronto I would expect similar processes and prices. $110 each. Stripped, remachined, painted and clearcoated.

I know a local guy, has tons of them, it's in Windsor ontario, and they do ship.

They have a bunch of restored IROC wheels, red, black, gold, silver, you name it!
