Re: rare WS-6 rims?
From that site:
very rare WS6-only 3-spoke car rims - 'salad shooters'
They were only available for 2000 Pontiac Firebirds model year as a special selection on a build sheet, and by some estimates, only 1-5% of all 2000 WS6 models had them.
Sometimes these rims go by the name Salad Shooters.

Pontiac Firebirds fitted with these rims have RPO door code: N66.

Those are definitely genuine, rare, FACTORY 2000 WS6 17x9.0" wheels. For a bit of info, take a look at this 2000 road test article from Motor Trend magazine. As I recall, this wheel was only offered on very early models, and was replaced part way into the model year by the more common WS6 wheel.

Re: rare WS-6 rims?
A couple years ago, I saw those wheels on a black WS6 at the dealership. They sold the car to a local guy and I saw the car a couple months later with diffrent wheels on it. I'm willing to bet the reason he changed the wheels wasn't because they were rare.
