Default WTB used set of 8 lug rims...15" preferred.

Will pay reasonable price for good straight rims.

I have this set, but they are 14's. Five rims, four trims in pretty nice shape for $200. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=767937

I got mine 15" 8 lug rims for $600.00 and they had never been on a car. It was a gift.

No std equipment from Pontiac for 15 inch 8 lugs...all 14 inch. There are aftermarket 15 inch and larger that run around $200 per rim depending on finish etc. You would have to luck out and find someone who went that route and then changed direction to find 15 inchers used.

Steve are 15 x 7 the biggest that will fit without any concerns or modifications?

What tire will you use? Are there redlines in that size?

It doesn't hurt to ask.

I am going to use 225-75R15, just like I use on my 67 GP. I am not using redlines. I will be using whitewalls.

I usually get Hankooks. I have had very good luck with them.

Thank you; I'm interested in that comparison as well.

I've currently got a mis-matched set of 14" tires on my GP.
