Thanks...was a task but for the price I couldn't say no.. tires have less than 500 miles on them.

I like those wheels. They are among GM's lightest 16" alloys.

that's why I like them so much also. I had a set of them on my 96 for a long time

And, they are the actual "Torque Stars". At some point someone applied GM's name for them to the 5 spokers that showed up on Bonnies in the mid ninties and it stuck.

What's funny is they had just the tires advertised and I was going to just buy them but they decided since there was so much brake dust they didn't think they could be saved and said I can have the wheels also. I like the white ones that are on it now but for the price I could not pass up and now I can throw a set of studs for winter time on my other wheels.

Hmm, I have been on the hunt for a set of traditional Torque Stars for my car, but upon seeing this transition, now I wonder if I should gravitate towards these! Looks great.
