Garrett Powered Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 this dude named Dave who lives in washington had these on craigslist for a deal I could not pass up. I have been wanting some for the SE because the offset fits it better (+38mm) than the +25mm crosslaces. just got back and have been getting them cleaned up before I put them on the car. this is after degreasing them with foaming simple green in a can then hitting them once with mothers on a rag, then once over again with a mothers mini powerball on my Dewalt cordless drill. they were dirty and oxidized, but not too bad. one wheel has light, light rash on a small section of it. they are an inch or so taller than the 245 50s on those crosslaces. this kind of surprised me. three of the tires had about 30-40% tread and the inside toe of the tread worn down. the fourth is the same tire with 70% or so tread left. I guess he had a nail get in the tire two different occasions within an inch of eachother. so he got a new one because it was not repairable. Dave is a pretty cool guy, he likes to take his cars to the track alot and race. total pontiac freak. the NA 3800 GP he had these wheels on ran a best of 15.6 in the 1/4. he almost bought a TGP back in the day but went with a turbo probe instead. he met me half way in his brand new '09 G8 for the deal. I had never even checked one of those out yet in person. he popped the hood and I saw the LS2 in there.freakin bad ass. his car had less than 1000 miles on it. Quote

Venom Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Nice deal, I had a chance to buy a set of 18s for 350 but lost my job right before I was gonna buy them. Quote
5speedz34 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 Oh is that the '88 or '89 with super low miles? Quote
AWeb80 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 Ya. Grandma owned or some crap. garage find Quote
Garrett Powered Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Posted June 9, 2009 It was in the for sale section here last november for a very short time. as soon as I saw it I called and reserved it. perfect timing for me because I almost bought a TGP down in cali and I still had the money. I also got the gt2871r turbo and crossover that was on it. ...and the heads....and the cam Quote
