Hey Slow, how about a 16" look?

 

[GNSCOTT]

AHH, finally found this thread. I'd pay $1000 for 2 skinnies and 2 10" wheels today. I posted about this about a year ago. I think your gonna find it hard to get them at that price ($150) considering Welds are alot more mass produced and cost at least that much, and even more. I think your looking at at least $1000 for a set in stock size.

ME want them bad boys

According to my Blueprint records, the OEM is in Lansing Michigan, why not just contact them, they may still have the original tooling.

Weight Loss?

A little weight loss would be great for all of us!

Like everyone else said you need to see it first.

BTW how much weight loss could be resulted by going aluminum?

Count me in if it happens

It sounds like a good idea to me.

After looking at the picture by slow 87 I think the 17's look goofy. Too much like dub's. Let's see some 16's.

The rims in the pic are not to scale. I was just having fun

Having some fun?

Don't you see that you are the official "mock rim guy" now?

Lets see some 16's!!!

 

[GeneralB44]

Set it up! No cheesy chrome rims, though - polished for me.

I would definitely buy 4 of the 16x8, but 15's or 17's might be okay

 

[GNSCOTT]

So has/is anyone making some calls and setting the ball into motion?? I'd be real curious to see some kind of guesstimate on pricing. Like I said, if Welds average around $175 each and are mass produced, if these are going to be group purchased by us,directly from the manufacturer to keep cost down, or if an investor is going to step in and try to vend them.

Have you ever considered making a GNX replica wheel? Classic Industries told me that they stopped selling them(temporarily?) due to manufacturers tooling problems.

How about some 17 inch GNX replica rims?

 

[fast eddie]

sign me up for 4 stock size

 

[RobV6]

Ihave 4 brand new stock wheels in a box. I use Enkie's 16' GNX stlyle wheels.

But I would be interested in a 16" stock set. I believe the stock ones where 28 pnd. a piece.

My enkies are aluminum, and are much lighter. They came with my 2,100 MI. GN. I then bought a set in 4 boxes that I wax,
And keep. Going to use them in shows this spring!.

There where some good thoughts and questions. But I would be interested.

Thanks......................
