We were given this spare tire and wheel for free. I am looking for another spare wheel exactly like the one seen in the picture, for our challenge car. I know that it is from some sort of GM. Also, if you know where exactly it is from, that would be helpful. Thanks!

might be the correct one...

although, most stuff I am seeing show it as an N64 aluminum spare tire. Thats probably worth about $100-120ish. Might try junkyards and looking in the back of IROC camaros and Firebird/transams

It is a 14 by 6 wheel. Perfect for drag racing, assuming they're legal. Perfect for the challenge too since it was free.

Yea, not all turd gens have the aluminum spare though. Some had steelies.

I had 2 of these in the distant past(unused, still with the inflation cannisters) that I sold on ebay. I got $220 for each as they were both flawless with all stickers intact/legible.

it's a 14x5" space-saver from third-gen GTA and IROC. i had a pair of them on my '04 challenge V8Vair for the drags. they're pretty hard to find these days.
