That sounds like the rare tri-fan design wheels. I have only seen pictures of them. The V6 T/A's came with a similar looking wheel, although it was painted not polished.

what would be a good price for the car , it needs a drivers fender , nose , bumper ,possibly a new hood . the hood may be fixable , it is a good title the owner did not turn it in on his insurance because he has a young son and he was afraid the ins. co. would cancel him, and his premiums were way too high now . the car is drivable.

Yes, those wheels came out briefly in 2000 and were soon replaced. Personally I think they are pretty raunchy, but to each his own.

For sure its pretty rare!

The reason they were rare is because they are ugly as sin. GM discountinued them and then started offering the Firehawk looking 5 spoke.

Like they said they are rare because the wheels were ugly, and no the car is not special, in fact it is deprived. Its like the first soldiers who went into Vietnam carrying shitty m-1's and died because of them, compared to the later use of the M-16 and AR-15 which werent the best weapons but they got the job done.
