You have almost no chance in hell finding original GNX rims. Bigal sold a set not to long ago but that was the only set Ive seen for sale. Now you should be able to find 4 front GTA wheels fairly easy.

There is a set of claimed GNX rims for sale on eBay. Classic Industries sells repro rims don't they?

I don't think that it would be that difficult to find an original set of GNX rims, problem is the cost, as Big Al's set was priced at $4K, but i did not know that they had sold or what they sold for. As far as 4 front GTA rims, you do see those occasionally, but I think that the chances of finding a nice set diminish as time goes on. Nobody is currently making these rims and I seriously doubt if anybody ever will again, other that the custom ones made by Brian Weaver at GBodyParts. Might give him a shot. HTH.

After looking closely at the markings, I am almost certain that those rims, or at least the one showing the markings on the reverse are/is real genuine, authentic GNX rim(s). That is probably the reason that the seller showed a close up of the markings on the rim.

Your best shot on a budget is probably find some GTA rear rims, or piece together 4 of them, clean, paint, polish, & detail them yourself, & run with spacers.

The last pair of GTA fronts I purchased(last year) came from the local new/used wheel shop. He ordered them from a reconditioning company's catalog. $350.00 for the pair(like new). I had already bought two complete sets of GTA wheels for about $500.00 each(again-used wheel shops), and sold the rears for $400.00(on this site, to a B-body owner). To use rears on a G-body: you need some monster spacers and lug bolts.

Just curious: How much are they each to refurb? Lowest price I've heard was $125.00.

You can get exsisting ones machined for $150 each.
They just never seem to be as nice as new barreled rims.
