Are there any companies that make a rim that resemble the 1987 Buick GNX Rims or the later 89-92 Pontiac GTA rims. I want to find something like that for my 1967 GS400 Buick.
ANy help would be great. Been going crazy trying to find something similar.
Thanks in Advance

Perhaps check with Wheel Vintiques out of California, if they don't perhaps they can recommend somewhere. I have dealt with them a few times and always a good experience.

Hawks third gen makes a 17x9 version of the GTA wheel, good looking wheel. The 16x8 version is available too.

Don't know if these are Hawks or not but look at summit racing item number 10104410. They have these in a few sizes. When money allows, I hope to get a set for my '72 Skylark.

If you're interested in a custom made-to-order forged wheel, then you might like the Forgeline LS3. http://www.forgeline.com/products/heritage-series/ls3-17-18-19.html

The GNX has minor cosmetic differences from the GTS, The GNX wheel has unique backspace specs for front/rear
and are different from the GTS backspace, although both are almost 1" different front/rear backspace.
I'm not sure what budget or specific size you are looking for, I assume 17" or larger, due to the amount of
performance tires available.
Here are some options:

I have a set of Enkei 92 in 16x8 4.01" backspace (-10mm offset), made just before the GNX was on the market.
If you really want some 16" wheels, they are very close, and in great condition.

The tires are BFG Comp TA VR4 245/50/16, 255/50/16, BFG makes a new BFG GForce Sport Comp2 in the same sizes.
