N96 16x8 inch wheels
Have spent the past few days looking for a set of N96 16x8 inch rims at the local yards and have come up with nothing. However, I stopped in at my local Pontiac dealer and found out you can still order these wheels direct from GM- $200 each for the fronts $560.86 each for the rears!
Any idea why the rears are so much more expensive and what exactly are the differences between the front and rear wheels?

Rears have a slightly different offset (pulled more to the inside of the car). A lot of people run fronts all around. Just buy the cheaper fronts and be happy.

Just to follow up on this- I ordered a full set of new N96 rims from GmPartsDirect.com for $118 a wheel plus shipping- I can hardly wait to get them!!!
