What do they look like? I have a set of wheels on my 84 GS that is different from the other wheels on all my other cars, but I dont know what they are made of. If you have a pic, or if someone has a pic, post it and I'll let you know if I have some up for sale . The ones I have are the same ones on the yellow car on the cover of the VB catalog if that helps.

Go to my website and look at the pics of my car. Those are the steel wheels. I like them despite all the rust.

The ones on the VB catalog are the waffle-wheels or honeycomb wheels OR 79-80 wheels; whatever you prefer to call them. I've got a set of those, which are aluminum, but I haven't decided what to do with them yet. I don't know why I want the steel wheels, but somehow I'm 'attracted' to them. I wouldn't doubt that soon I'll be looking for a set of 83 LE wheels, although I'm not now because I don't think they'd look good on my car.

Enough babbling - if you have a set and want to sell them, contact me. Thanks.

I just bought a set of LE wheels for $130 of off Ebay. What a deal!

I can get you a set of steel wheels complete with center caps. They are on a car at the local junkyard. What are you willing to pay? (Plus shipping.) I can see if the guy will let them go far what you ask.

I have a set of steel wheels from my base 85 - they were only on the car for a short time before I switched to a set of alloy wheels - they have been stored - and are in new condition
