Steel rims and dog dish hubcaps: 1970 buick GS conv.

[Ebling]

I am restoring a 70' GS Convert I found in a Minneapolis garage where it had been sitting for quite a while. The car came "plain Jane" with the steel rims and dog dish hubcaps, not to mention the bench seat and manual everything. I have looked all over in local salvage yards and swap meets but am having no luck finding rims like this anywhere. Does anyone know where to find a set of 15 inch steel rims and caps? Any info would be really appreciated. Thanks much

Any way you could post a picture of wheels that you need?

Ebling?
Are you in Minnesota? If you are in the Metro area, pick up the latest issue of the Tradin' Times. Look in the 15 inch wheels for sale area and I think you'll find what you need. This is a real friendly group, we use names and locations in public and everything! Welcome aboard! Tim :TU:

I think these are what you wanted, but they are already sold.

Thanks a lot for all the replies, it is very much appreciated. Yes I am from the twin cities area and will try the tradin times as well as the other leads. I bid that set on ebay up a fair amount but backed out after it got to salty for my blood. Thanks again for the info, Andrew Ebling

Ok, these are all over the place here in FL.
Local yard must have 30-40 of these.
They are found on all Chevy Impala/Caprice models from 78-87.
I am going to get 2 for someone tomorrow.

Anyone else need them?

Please email me direct at GStage1@buickperformance.com

Well, I went thru the yard, found only 8 rims but all had curb scuffs/scrapes.
I would like someone to confirm the valve stem code for the rims. I believe it should be AE

Thanks for your help. :TU:

Way to go Jamie ! :TU: I have no personal interest in the person who sells them ! I just figured like you did ! time/WAITING/ sand blasting /priming/gas running around. the quality was very good ! when will they be at your place ?? Moz
