Does anyone know where I can get a set of these rims?

Thanks

Very hard to find! I wanted an extra set, but no luck. I bought a set of 2001 WS6 rims instead. They have the same size cast, but have a lip for wheel weigts where we have a rolled edge instead. Mine are stamped Speedline America on the inside, but the Comp wheels are stamped Speedline Italy. Again, both are close, but very similar.

Good luck, I looked for about 2 years, I found two of them from a wrecked Firehawk that were in good condition.

They are almost impossible to find anymore.

yeah..slp ran a big sale on them a few years back.. i could kick myself for not buying 4 of them..... dont know why they did that.....

however....

under penalty of DOT law....they are supposed to have (GM) o.e. replacement parts for any car manufactured on hand for 7 years from date of manufacture. now..... thats one more year for us 97's..... hmmmmmmm.......i wonder if they will try and furnish the ws6 rims in lieu of the the lip less comp rim (top edge)..... i might play devils advocate and inquire.....

I tried that one a couple of years ago. I was basicly told to take a hike. They have not had stuff for our cars since I bought mine in '98.

Not slamming SLP, but sometimes they have poor customer service. I have been dissapointed with them on a few occasions unfortunatly. [Frown]
