Dear Lashdeep,

                The main issue is tire availability.

                I assume that you have a GT5S.

                 Today, if you needed a full set of fresh fifteen inch 
tires for the original wheels, then  1) could you have them in a week? 
In those tire sizes, I expect that speed rating would not be an issue. 
2) What would be the market price of the tires?


                                     Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

  Chuck, preserving the originals is a great idea and one I've thought 
of myself recently.

The Basset sounds like a perfect modern solution and retains some of the 
desirable factory look.

Dear Arjun,


                     The idea is to put the very expensive original
wheels safely up in storage and drive and abuse more expendable
seventeen inch repro wheels.

                                        Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
