well, consider that 5000 are GTPs.... do you know how many Shelby GT500s there are a year?... about 5000, so it's on par. It's still a small number, especially considering 80,000 are produced in one year.

cool! you still probably paid way less than me when I got my 50k white one last year... I got ripped off... oh well.

welcome to the club!

This first post should be a stickey nick.

Also, I know that the orignal letter from Pontiac states that the wheels where aluminum polished torque stars. When I questioned them, they were not able to find any greater detail, and nothing that said that they came with the 18 spoke wheels that everyone has on thier 2003 Limited Editions as well as the 40th Anniversary Special Editions.

ive never seen a LE with SE wheels

The only difference in the SE and LE wheels is the center cap.

Here are some reference pictures:

I've seen it both ways on the internet. However, for the cars I have actually seen, or the ones on here, it's been the "multi-spoke" wheel, not the torque stars.

When I asked the Pontiac representative about the wheels, she didn't have any other information...

nice find!!!!

Thats quiet a bit

Almost 5 grand for a car that's a century and a half over due?
