so i am going to work for a meeting this morning and i hit a big ass pot hole on the Robert moses expressway and it blew out my tire and destroyed my rim… i have the stock 05 GTP rims. is it cheaper to buy a set of 4 new rims or just go buy a steelie from a junk yard and a tire for the time being ---

> [@97Ranger"](#): > > is it cheaper to buy a set of 4 new rims or just go buy a steelie from a junk yard Are you really asking if it’s cheaper to buy 4 wheels or 1? Just kidding, sorry to hear. I would be going after the city for this one… ---

The only place I have found that carries newer GM OEM rims is… Vince’s Auto Wrecking 8440 Akron Rd. Lockport, NY (716) 434-6238 Good luck. I think I paid 2-something for a 5 spoke 16" for my GA when I cracked it on a Pot-hole. They did mount and balance, for free, my new tire I brought with me. You can also try… Howbill - 652-1651 (They will most likely have to order) Skyway - 824-4348 2060 - 894-2060 Mark’s - 896-1616 I have seen 97 style GPs at M&M (896-1775) if one of those steelies would fit… That’s usually the only places that would have an OEM replacement or a Steelie junkyard wise. ---

No. It was off another GA they had in their yard. They told me they had one. They told me they would hold it. When I got there they said “Make sure it is the right one. They we will pull it.” I thought WTF because they said they had one but I have to make sure. But hey, it was either them or the Dealer. Also, $200 is cheap for that wheel. I just called Jim Ball (667-2000) and it is $602 for one of those same wheels I pulled for the Grand Am today. I think they wanted $585 when I needed it. The Grand Prix wheel will be around that same price most likely. GM wheels SUCK. ---
