    I am looking for at least 2 1970 WD1 (option code) 15x7 plain steel wheels that take trim ring and dog dish hubcap,factory option on 1970 Buick GS cars.
    I do not need hubcaps or trim rings just 2 more rims or more if someone has them.
    I can pick up maybe at GS Nats next week?
    Thanks

    Rich,
    What is the wheel code stamped next to the valve stem? Do you have a pic of a wheel? Would help!

    George,
    The wheel application code is
    "WD" for early 70 cars and
    "WH" for late 70 and 71 cars

    That should help Rich out a little.

    I will see what the local yards have and let you know. If I do find any, I have a friend who is going to BG and can take them w/him.

    I went thru six yards on Sat. Not one of those wheels. I have XF, HF wheels from a 70 Skylark but they are 14" Have you considered repros? Do they make them?

    Thank you for your effort trying to find me some wheels.
    I think wheel Vintiques makes these wheels although the wheel centre is slightly different.
    I was hopping to gather up at least 2 more as I currently have only 3 and wanted the proper WD stamp bt valve stem
    Thanks
