Interesting. I have never seen wheels like that before.
I would be worried about putting all that Buick torque to those if they were on my car. :3gears:
With that being said, I think they must look pretty cool restored.
What size tires do you have on them?

I remember those wheels, although I don't remember who produced them. I'd say late 70's/early 80's. A local guy had a set on a red and black `55 Chevy.

:bla: Sorry yes I was joking:laugh:

Looks like some I installed when I worked at a custom van shop in 78. Most of our wheels were Westerns and Fenton mags
