Those are OEM and no sign of swelling that was typical of that style. Also, the wheel center looks more like a mint condition specimen, verses restored.

And the ad doesn't just say 'actual miles', it says "actual documented original miles", so it's not like the guy is odometer challenged.
He can make any claim he wants about being actual or documented - doesn't make it true. How do you definitively document that mileage as being legit?

That trim ring and center cap condition are totally in disagreement with the rest of that wheel. As is the obviously very rusty brake caliper. Who knows what the story is with that car, but I smell an awful lot of fish.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
