Default Are these wheels rare?

I was just wanting to know the production numbers of these rims. If they are rare how much could I sell them for because one guy was wanting to buy them. Thank You

Actually I have seen 2 here in town that have had those.. I wondered the same thing. They almost remind me of Aztec wheels but polished.
I would have to say yes. But I am glad I didnt get those when I purchased mine :happy:

They are rare because nobody wanted them as an option. They were only around for 1 year, and quickly relized how ugly they were. I doubt you can sell them for very much, but its worth a shot.

Yup, they are rare...for the reasons mentioned above. I'd ask for $500 wheels alone if they're in good condition.

If they are rare, does anyone know the production numbers or at least where I can try to find them.

A freind of mine works at a Pontiac dealership and he said there was a shortage on the wheel supply during the middle to late 01 production run and a lot of WS6 car were put on hold?

He said by marking the option for the salad shooter wheels you could get around the hold, most dealers did not know about this.

Personally I like the wheels just as much as the five spokes.

They are rare because they are hideous.

Easy now - lol....I was told they were only on < 200 WS6s in 2000. I bought my whole set for $350 (I had a cracked wheel and needed a quick fix)

I thought they were ugly as well but they look pretty nice on Casey02Ws6's car.

Your car looks great,
It would really set it off if you lowered it just a little.

Could be the angle of the photo though?

No - it needs lowered - these wheels look much better in person - but there are a lot of wheels I would prefer - I am doing power mods first though!
