Second, if they're real....

 

[arista5]

the ones in his picture are not GNX wheels, they are GTA

 

[van460]

i purchased them directly from buick olds pontiac dealer in my town very expensive, tell me the offset and i can check, they were bought new so they did not come off a gnx that i had. look to be a little under nine inches wide and 4.5 bs would have to double check. they have some info on inside like front only. they may be gta and i was told wrong. what should i look for to tell if gnx v's gta?

dimples

Just for the record...not all GTA wheels have the dimples and black GTA wheels to be included.

Are they all fronts? or did you have to use a spacer. I believe they are stamped "FRONT" on the inside of the rim. If you have all the lugnuts, lug caps and centers. I'll take them if you cover shipping provided that all rims are in excellent condition and don't have any road rash. They have to be 4 fronts or I can't use them.

I was once told the the dimples signify the difference between the early and late mode GTA rims.

dimples

Ya but I can't say for sure what the year separation is....maybe 87 or 88.....trans ams also came with those wheels from the factory.

GTA rims were dimpled on the 88 and later models.

Trans Am wheels explanation...

The Trans Am wheels had no dimples in '86 and '87 (exactly like the real GNX's), but had them from '88 to '92.
This site explains all there is to know about Trans Am and Firebird wheels...http://www.tacreationsusa.com/
Also, the rear Trams Am wheels can be used, but you'll need spacers and longer studs...
