    Looking for a set of driver quality 15x7 road wheels. Don't care about codes or originality. A set from a 80's lesabre would be great. Need then for my 70 sport wagon.

    Where are you located? I got a few that aren't perfect but might be what you are looking for. Shipping would be more than they are worth though. I'm in Bowling Green, KY but heading to Atlanta in a few days. I get as far north as Louisville from time to time.

    If it was "80's Le Sabre" wouldn't they then be 5 x 5 bolt pattern? Assuming here pre '85 - '86 with the FWD intro. Or were there two versions - one fleet (5 x 5) and one standard (5 x 4 3/4)? Did remember pulling a set of 15 x 7 painted Buick rallys off a '77 Le Sabre years ago in an El Paso U Pull, those were indeed 5 x 4 3/4. The wheel number was #903 as I recall.

    Thanks for the response but distance will keep this from working. I really figured this would be an easy find. Spent the day Friday in junkyards thinking I would find a set but found one wheel . Hit four local yards an only saw three rwd Buicks all day. You would think it had been 30 years ago these cars were on the road!!

    Most of the 80's Lesabre, cars came with 4 1/2 and most of the Electras came with big bolts, but never trust G M to stick with the rules. I once did a new car service on a C-10 short bead pickup with a 250 six that came with a TH-400 and a two piece drive shaft.
    Thanks for the response.

    The run up in metal prices in the '06 - '08 time period claimed a lot of stuff that had been sitting for literally decades. Unprocessed cars reached $265-$275/ton in El Paso, not exactly a high cost place. 4 1/2 " bolt circle was Ford, AMC and big bolt pattern mopar passenger car.

    I have decided to go to with a set of American racing torque thrust mags on the car.Seams the days of cheap and readily available factory chrome wheels are gone. Thanks for the help..
