Don’t ship, drop,off, your not that far away. Road trip.

The wheel is now in the hands of a guy who is fixing it and lives only 15 minutes from home. Thank you everyone who replied and tried to help!

What type do you have?

Back in the day most cars had rally’s. I don’t know where all. The 8” disco wheel are coming from. Everyone puts them on.

for mid to late 70's (back in the day) T/A's, the rally 2's were the base model wheels that came on every pontiac, kinda lame actually.... the honeycombs were the cool wheels for t/a's & other models & in 77 the 7" snowflake was the fancy new more desirable aluminum wheel to most people. then when WS6 came along in 78 the 8" snowflakes were by far the better looking wheel that all the lame firebirds & base t/a's wished they had... thats why most people swapped them out back then & today, regardless of what kind of music you listened to.

its all opinion but to me & many others the 8" WS6 snowflake is the best looking wheel pontiac made.
