For sale is a MINT set of NOS take off GN rims and tires from ASC during the GNX build . I have had these for a few years , they have always been in my heated garage . The previous owner of them relayed on that they were take offs from ASC . The person he had got them from claims to have had ownership of them since and however they left from ASC .
I believe this to be true as the date codes on the tires and the rims fall into place of the correct time frame of them being on a GN destined to be a GNX . Two of the tires have date code 187 (April) and the other two are 237 (May) . The rims are date coded as such : (1) 5-23-87 , (2) 5-26-87 , (1) 5-27-87 .
When I got them they still had the factory protective coating on the rims that the dealer is/was to remove . I did not realize this is what that was until after cleaning one , then realizing I did not do the other 3 .
Also to note , you can tell a center cap was never installed either , as there are no evident marks of contact with anything else other than lug nuts , again , how they were sent to ASC . Three of the four tires still have the yellow sticker on them for line up of the valve stem hole in the rim .
The tires are in amazing shape , still very black , not fading or dry rotting at all . Close inspection anywhere on any of the tires you will not see any dry rot or cracks !!!! The nubs are still very large and present .
These would be great for someone with a real low mile GN that is brought to shows , put them on there for display to really capture that original day one look !!!! Or someone that now , 29 years later , is doing a concourse resto . Or...... someone with a GNX that would like to put together a collection of pre GNX parts to have displayed in the garage showing the parts that were removed to make a GNX !!!! Or just someone that is into collecting rare NOS GN parts .
Remember , these are production line rims and tires , not blem NOS ones .
I have contemplated selling these for a while now , looking for $3,200 . I am offering them here first , as usual before I put them on Ebay . I am in central Ct , I would like pick up in person , not going to ship them . To big ,to heavy , and not going to take the risk shipping them . Plus , you can see/touch them in person before you buy them .
Thank you TB .
