Hokay, last week the caliper came loose on my daily driver and put a hole
in one of the alloy wheels. Two shops said it was unrepairable and one said
"maybe" but for $200-$250 & they would need to see it first.
The alternative seems to be a set of American Racing "Estralla"s but it is
looking at $500 for a set of four plus mounting and balancing, etc. The
problem is that the Reatta is the only car I have that uses 16x7 wheels and
I have a great set of Michelins on it.
Now I am not in a rush (is back together and I have one of the original
15x6 wheels on the right rear so is driveable if U-gley) but if *anyone*
knows of an (will consider 2 or more) "Etoria by Enkei" Type 5 aka EUM5 in
16x7" with 5x115 (Big GM FWD) bolt pattern , I would gladly pay a finders fee.
A picture of the wheel can be seen at

look at http://padgett.performanceresearch.us/cars/enk2.jpg .
