WTB: GNX/GTA wheels - I need two or four

[Rayk]

I need a pair (but will buy all 4 if I have to) of the GTA wheels in 16 X 8. I want the ones with dimples (one piece) if possible. Also, prefer black centers but will buy gold and repaint if they are nice. Please email what you have to rkammer@cfl.rr.com or PM me. Thanks.

Thanks, I know. Just want to see if I can score a pair of used ones for a bit less than $199.99 each.

Ray, why do you want to sell your tires if you're looking to buy some GNX-style wheels?

Hi, Claude. It's a bit involved but, since you have a reasonable need to know, I'll explain. I had two 16 x 8 GTA wheels on the front of my WE4 with the tires you are buying on them. I had a pair of 15 x 8 "look alike" GNX weels on the back with MT drag radials on them which I ran all the time. I also had two spare 16 x 8 GTA wheels with no tires on them in the garage.

I needed a matched set of real street radials for the trip to Bowling Green in May. So, I bought a set of Sumitomo HTRs and had them mounted on the 4 16 x 8 GTA wheels. (245s in front and 255s in the rear) and removed the Kumhos you just bought.

I also sold the GNX look alike wheels (actually BBS wheels) with the near bald drag radials on them to a local club member because I want to have my new race tires on the same GTA wheels as my regular radials. So now, I have 4 GTA wheels on the car with the new Sumitomos on them and I need two more 16 x 8 GTA wheels to mount the new BFG G-Force drag radials IIs I just bought. I went with BFGs this time because the tread pattern has a more streety look and also resembles the front tire tread pattern better than the MTs would have.

Is that clear as mud?

I have a set of two fronts and two rears for $400.00 if you want. The tires are ok but not great. They are about 50% used.
