Gray GT Wheels
« on: April 28, 2021, 07:16:05 pm »
I am looking for a set of wheels for my Gold 86 GT. I also need a headlight motor for the right side.

If you have a headlight motor, I can refurbish it.

I think I have a set of gray wheels. They are a bit dirty but they look gray to me.

I expected to have to do some refurbishment anyway. What do you want for them?

I have the motor still. I tried refurbishing once which is probably why it doesn’t work. Should I ship it?

Shoot me a fair offer. They are on our parts car so I’d need to put something back on it.

Just hold it over your head, as in your avatar.

Where are you located?  Perhaps we could meet part way.

They are from an 88, but I have a good set of formula lace wheels with what are basically brand new tires that are sitting in my shop.

'88 should be black--at least, the set that was on that fastback Formula was.

I have two sets of 88 lace wheels. All black, and the fronts are thinner, and might not look proper on an 86.
The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

88 lace wheels were available in black and gold only.  I saw a Formula with gold lace on a bright red paint job like pgackerman's and it really looked nice.  I don't know if it came with gold, but they were available.

 AFAIK, Formulas only came with black lace wheels.

It might have been possible to place an order for a Formula with the gold wheel option.  When we bought Melanie's 93 Grand Am, it could be ordered with a number of different wheels, including lace wheels.  I think they were all-aluminum color, though.  They did offer a chrome plastic lace wheel cover for the steel wheels, too.

IIRC, that was possible on the GT.  Formulas had limited options.
