Here's two style wheels I'm trying to picture on the GS. Choose which one you like or if you hate them both. They'd be 17". I like the Dagger but it might be too much for an old car. The AREs are ok. I saw a '66 Fairlane in PHR this month with custom made Magnums from Wheel Vintiques. All chrome/polished instead of the black background. I think I'd really like a Buick Rallye wheel like that. The ARE Salt Flat are as close as I could find.
NEW Cragar SS rims While they are not on your list Gary, I picked up the Forged Cragar SS wheels...like the old style Cragars with a updated look. No more peeling chrome or rust.
I know what you mean Gary. That's the reason I stayed away from the standard Torq Thrust II's...around here THEY are on every car you see. While I see the regular chrome Cragars around locally, I have only seen one other car with the forged Cragars around here locally. I really like the Daggers, but not sure on a muscle car. I would say they Salt Flats have a great look (and you don't see them everywhere)...Dave car is the only set I have seen locally at all. Good luck with your decision. :bglasses:
American Racing Salt Flats... Or get some Buick Rally wheels, and take the black paint off. I think that would look best. :Smarty:
Thats funny, I was thinking the salt flats but putting black on..... :laugh: the daggars are cool but what are they gonna loook like with your rear drums hanging out there??....have to upgrade to discs... later Tim
Wouldn't it be nice if one of the after-market places would build Rallys in forged aluminum 17" ? That would be the ticket for me.
Gary, I hear yaa...you can get magnum 500's in 17", too bad nobody does our Buicks...but take a look at this. I had thought of this earlier as a possible otpion, I photshoped the center part to argent to see how it might look.....what do you think (please be advised I have more ideas than time so it was avery fast touch up...and wasn't sure about the spokes). later Tim
That's pretty cool. How about a darker black? Or maybe just do the center in black and leave the outer perimeter near the slots and spokes polished? Wish I knew how to use Photoshop. Maybe I could get the Buick centercaps to fit. How would you go about painting those and get it to stick?
I wouldn't worry about the centercaps and honestly I have no idea how you would get the paint to stick....scuff it up??LOL Later Tim
Actually, take a look at this. I already know what you're going to say but its not like 17" wheels are factory anyway on a Buick GS. I mean its so close....if the factory Buick centercaps would fit that would be hilarious.... 17x7 up to 18 x 11 available... later Tim
Hi Gary, go here: https://www.newstalgiawheel.com/billet_vintiques.asp I thought it was reallly funny since your tag says "notnss" and here it is with the SS centercap. But really, a nice set of 255/40R17 on these rims would look killer on our cars I thought..it would either make the car look smaller or make the whole thing look lower.... And your car is orange, too. I'm looking to you for a test fit! Whatever you buy, make sure you weigh them before mounting for future reference... later Tim
