That GN was one of Heath Elmer's creations. It was in an early issue of GMHTP and is currently owned by a gentleman in Florida. His screen name on the Buick boards is Rob'siron or something like that. I'll scan the mag article if I have the time this weekend.
They are indeed 18" Simmons wheels.

Welcome aboard TurboT,cool rides. You`re not alone here in wanting to embarass the import guys in the twisties with some good ol American iron.
The G bodys (like the A body) respond really well to geometry improvements and good suspension tweaks. The Stage2 package takes care of all the factory front suspension and steering geometry screwups and makes a great platform for any other mods and tweaks. If you plan to upgrade the brakes too (if not now,you will after you beat on it some!) our StreetComp-AFX package is even more attractive. http://www.scandc.com/suspensions.htm#streetcompafx It falls in between the Stage 2 and G-5 in both geometry and cost and accepts C5/C6 brakes. Combined with the right springs,shocks etc. this setup really gives Acura,BMW,Z-28 etc, drivers fits. Heh heh, good clean fun! :D Mark SC&C

Sweet, another Buick! I've made mine into a mild pro-tourer and I've been happy with the results. Good luck with yours!
