I am in need of fresh ones on the GMC, and that is a good price, 1/4th of what I paid for NAPA parts 40k miles ago. Unforch, they don't have any to fit a 1999 GMC Sierra 1500. Dirt shielding is poor on the 4wd models, and they eat disks in 30 to 40k miles, so bad they won't reface & have legal thickness left. If they had it, I'd imagine quite a bit more as thats a 17 inch wheel & those bigger disks weigh a good 20+ lbs. The thing is nice, handles its 7000+ lbs as if it was a go kart if I push it, and I do try to stay in practice by hanging the rear end out & steering with the throttle on long sweeping corners I am intimately familiar with. Unforch, the reflexes are slowing as the years build up. Thats why I sold my last bike about 15 years back. Figured it was going to write my ~30~ if I didn't. But it was fun, using one for a chair car for a quarter million miles. I still miss the challenge.
