    Chasing down a vibration and discovered I have a bent rim. I need a polished torque star rim that looks like this:



    I'd also be open to an alternative set of 16" rims like the 5-stars:



    I just bought new tires so hate to change rim sizes right now, but open options. I'm OK paying shipping from a reasonable distance, or can also pick up if on the East coast.

    Here is one on ebay -- ~100 shipped

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-98-99-GRA...JVcjty&vxp=mtr

    Also, I believe rock auto has some of these, although they are ~170 + ship...(Look under wheel/tire -> wheel -> and then select the rim (polished))

    Hope this helps...

    Kaiser Pontiac has a set of the 4 flat 5 wheels. He's in MN though.

    I thought the torque stars were all polished, and the alternative set you mentioned were painted

    The pre gens look just like my neighbors se grand prix wheels, and they are painted silver, which is what I meant when I said painted

    Sorry I mis read your post, I found a painted torque star on flea bay...so I'm not sure if this is a refinish job or if some of them came from the factory painted instead of polished.

    Are the other rims pregens or the flat 5 style? I thought the rims in the picture he posted were the flat 5.
