A few more pics from Chad's cell phone. Engine and transmission finally getting fitted to the car. It looks like the engine will need to go back into the firewall several inches so it can drop in back of the rack and pinion. More work but it should help with the handling a bit. The transmission crossmember is going to have to move back a few inches as well.

okay so where did these spare tires come from

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/c...20Black/94.jpg

I think they're late model GTO spares.

Yep I have two of those in my garage right now. Looks like they mounted some motorcycle tires on them.

yeah Late model GTO spares purchased from ebay from a GM dealer. Showed up with no tires on them. GM calls for a 110/60/17 for them, which can't be bought anywhere except GM for stupid money. WE still race motorcycles on a occasion, looked in the trash pile outside at a stack of 120/55/17 bike front tires, and bam!! Took forever to mount, but they work. Got four (4) more GTO wheels coming, and picked up some more bike tires from the local bike shop yesterday

So where did you find them and does the guy have any more. I checked ebay and there are only two sellers

I got off flea bay years ago. It appeared I was purchasing from a standalone guy, but later after talking to him he was a parts guy at some shop up north.

The ones I got coming to me now have taken some work. My local buddy owns a big salvage yard, and he is finding them through there online parts network.

I've been sorta half looking for a set of these myself for a few months. When I see them they are generally fairly expensive and go quickly. They also typically show up as singles so you have 4x the shipping/transaction costs. I guess with the demand and relatively small/fixed supply that's just how it goes.

the guy I bought mine from is still on there selling , but his add has them listed for $999 each , and says out of stock and will change price back when they are available. I think I got about $500 in my first set, and will have about $250 in this next set. They seem to go from 75-150 a wheel on ebay

I used http://car-part.com/ to find mine. If you search for wheel the second pop up screen will let you select the spare. I got mine from two different local salvage yards. I paid $65 from one yard and $90 from the other. They also pop up for sale on ls1tech from time to time. Those guys use the rims for front runners for a drag pack.
