Not sure anyone on this forum is into the Grand Nationals at all but we made them with a forged center. Take a look and let us know if you like them.

The guys on the Buick forums are going crazy about them.

So far we have done 15" going to build them next in 17" and 18"

Jay, we had a customer asking if the 17/18 inch versions of this wheel were going to be built to accomodate performance brakes with larger caliper overhang dimensions or not, so I thought I'd ask. If you know what the wheel moutning surface to back of spoke dimension is going to be, I'd be curious to know what it is as I see a lot of G-body guys itching for an era correct wheel such as yours in larger sizes.

I have a customer with a 87 GN that has 50K original miles on it. I"ll forward him this post.

15's

With the Ceramic centers are $ 2,400.00

We should have a 17" and 18" coming up here pretty soon.

I know we probably have a few sets sold to those GN guys.

They look good also with machine finish pockets and polished face.

We will have a display at the Roadster Show this weekend in Pomona.

Nice wheels, Jay. The guys at www.turbobuick.com definitely like 'em. We've been waiting for someone to step up and appreciate what you've done with these.
A bunch of us are saving our coins to buy a set.:thumbsup:
