I'm trying to find these wheels. I believe they're made by Wheel Vintiques. They're 17" and more accurate Buick replica than the AR500's and other Magnum 500 style wheels.

Thats Mikes old car. You know that dealer guy, Norcalinut or mrpgmtoys or whatever screen name he's now using. He comes up with some gorgous cars.

I know their 17's but not sure of the tire size.

How bout it Mike? Do you remember the tire size?

This car is what I first saw them on...245/45/17's up front & 275/40/17's on the rear. Absolutely beautiful! Since my project is a resto-mod/pro-touring car, they'd be perfect.

There was a used set of these on the Dallas Craigslist with tires for $2500. The guy indicated he had more than $3600 in the set. I don't think they were ever installed on the car. The set has been on and off craigslist several times in the last couple months.
