Try Brian Weavy. He carries redone wheels that look new.

I know I have a set of new stock ones for my GN.
And his are that good.

Hope that helps...............Rob

I bought mine. Because ,my GN had 2,100 Org miles.

But did not have stock wheels. Enkies 16".

Anyway, I did as you are doing now. I was lucky.

About 3 months after I bought the car.

I found a boxed set on line.

This was about 98'.

My car now has 4,506 Mi.

So like you I would also look.

Just was giving you an alternative.
Just trying to help...............

thanks for the info.

Who is Weavy or how do I get a hold of him?

I saw some on gbodyparts.com. A litttle pricey though.

If I thought I could trade my mint GNX rims and tires for a mint set of GN rims with tires I would probably do it.

Mario, That' him. At GBobies.com.

I know he has different widths rims.

He is good to work with.

Price. I'd have to look. Was thinking of getting one more. Old one.
As I have spare. And get a wider back wheels.
For looks. Don't know the market. I paid 500 for a boxed set in 98'. Thought that was high. So i can't help you. Brian might have an idea.
Or wait to see who sells some. Might get lucky.
Hop this helped.... Good Luck.... You can e-me anytime....Rob

I have a set of GN wheels that have been stored since 1987. Contact me direct with info about your GNX wheels you would trade.

Mario sent you mail. Rims are a little pricy but with the price of steel going thru the roof it barely makes it worth doing.Getting cores is getting tough also.I had to raise core prices just due to the fact that used GN rims on E-bay are pulling $125 each.
