GTA Wheels

Anyone know if these wheels are worth $300 or best. He say almost perfect shape.
No center caps though. Must be 16" I would say. Will they fit Abody cars?

They would have to be pretty nice with no curb gouges, etc. at that price IMHO.

As far as fitment, yes and no. If this is an original set of 4, the fronts are different than the backs. Two are zero offset and the other two are noticably offset. I forget which ones (front or rear?) are the zero offset. But two will end up giving you "less dish" than the other two.

BTW, I just saw in HPP that someone is reproducing these for @ $700/set. I don't have it with me right now, but if you check out the ad I believe it identifies the "front" and "rear" specs.

Thanks overkillphil. I had know Idea about the diff offsets.

The rears have less offset than the fronts on these.

$300 obo for gold GTA wheels in nearly perfect shape is a quite good price. I got $150 for mine and they were kind of ratty.

Thats a good price IMHO....I paid considerably more for the ones on my GP but they are perfect with new tires/ drag radials and custom centercaps etc.

I took a set of 15 x 7 Cragars off my Trans Am, put them on my '67 Cutlass, and installed 16 x 8 GTA wheels on the T/A. I can't say for sure that the GTA wheels fit the A-body, but the wheels that fit the T/A fit the A-body, and then the GTA wheels fit in their place.

The front GTA wheels are real popular with the Buick GN and T Type owners. They are a bolt on without using wheel spacers. They are the same style rim used on the GNX.

I have seen them sell for alot more, up to $600.00 a set, with no marks or scrapes.
Redone, with new paint, same.
Used, with marks and scrapes, I have seen up to $400 at times.

George :cool:

i've got a set of these that were in rough shape when i purchased them for 300 bucks. took the clear coat off the lips and polished them, then duplicolored the centres charcoal gray. the look sharp. the fronts have a deeper offset than the back... which is odd... they even say "front only" on them. however, it makes way more sense to put the deeper dish on the back, so that's what i did when i test fit them. but here's the confusing part. on the third gen gta's, the fronts had 245's and the rears had 255's, so when you swap the front and rears to get the right offsets, you have to swap the rubber too. 255's on the "front only" stamped wheels, and put em on the back (of my 78 formula) and 245's on the shallower offset ones, and put em on the front. 255's just stuff in the rear, and give it a little "fat in the ass look". 245's should work up front. i haven't got the new rubber yet. it's a spring time project.

so they'll fit, and look really good on a 2nd gen f-body.

Classic repops them now for about $200 a pop.

I ran 255-50s on them all around on my TA and even ran rears on the rear with no fit issues. They are a really light wheel too.
