So, based on your results I went to both Coker and Summit and:

Coker: would be back-ordered @ $114 per tire but they've now apparently added shipping to the tune of $191 (for 6 tires). Total cost shipped; $875.91 (for 6 tires). ($583.93 for 4)

Summit: back-ordered as well @ $147.99 per tire with $9.99 shipping (per tire) = $59.94. Total cost shipped to the same address as Coker; $947.88 (for 6 tires).($631.92 for 4) I failed however, to ask them to match Coker's price - doh.

Now, though it appears that Coker would be the obvious choice, I went with Summit for 2 reasons .. 1) I know Summit, already had an account there, and have had good results with them and, 2) you actually GOT yours (from Summit).

So, to everyone else watching this thread I think ORDER SOON if you want these tires .. nobody else in the tire industry knows anything about them being available.

cheers and good luck, Darrin

RedFiveKBS - is there a date code of any type on those tires you got?

Got mine from my local dealer for $130ea, no shipping charges. I'll look at the date code. They are made in Mexico.

Date code 4117. 41st week of 2017.

excellent , thanks.

Update., so my tires were supposed to ship from Summit tomorrow but I got an e-mail saying they have not got them from the supplier yet and they have given me a new tentative ship date of Mar.21st, so.......here's hoping that they ship on the 21st.

" We have some good news about the expected arrival date for the item(s) below! Based on the most recent communication from our supplier, your item may arrive sooner than originally expected. Our goal at Summit Racing Equipment is to ship products to customers as quickly as possible and to keep you informed of any changes that may occur regarding expected arrival dates. "

Original ship date; the 21st

New ship date; the 19th

So far, looking good.

Got an e-mail, mine have shipped and are on their way, ETA is Mar.12.18 by end of day, so I will let you all know. I'm getting excited, but I'm not sure why when I'm still trying to finish up another project and my Monza has no driveline so it's a bit pointless installing new tires on it. I think its just knowing that I finally have just about every hard to find part I need to get it on the road again.

Tires arrived right on time. Now I just need to build the car they fit onto, LOL!

Finally got mine mounted, balanced, and on the car. The right rear rubs a bit on the inner wheel well on turns so I need to get into there and clean it up a bit and/or add a shim. The right way is adjusting the panhard bar but I'll take the lazy way for now.

Redfivekbs those look really nice.

Those look awesome on your car RedFive

RedFiveKKBS, those snowflake rims really came up nice .. what did you use to clean them with?

p.s. Summit has sent me a shipping notice for my 205/60's as well - woot!

Thanks guys!

Senior, I used one of those polishing cones on my drill and some aluminum wheel polish. They weren't bad to begin with. One of the four was a slightly different shade so it got sanded and painted too.

I sanded the painted parts of the wheel and then taped them off. Taping off the snowflake is a pain. Then a bit of primer and the factory argent silver. Those Pontiac center caps are virtually impossible to find. I have three sets of snowflakes and only one set of caps.

Thanks, I'm hoping that my Turbines will come up looking as good as your Snowflakes ..

Added a spacer behind the right rear and no more rubbing. The whole rear probably needs to be shifted over a touch but that is for another time.
