    Mike I see your car has the rare WD1 or Sales Code F4 15x7 plain steel wheels with Dog Dish/trim ring and originally G60- 15 GT Polyglas Tires.
    This wheel and tire option was only available on 1970 Buick GS 455 and Stage 1 cars.
    I have 3 70 GS BB cars factory equipped with this wheel and tire combo and luv it!
    Are those the original rims or have they been replaced?

    Truth is when I bought the car it had aftermarket wheels on it. I was lucky enough to find a set of these wheels that are coded correct for the car and had never been used. The story I got was that they were bought from a guy who ordered a 70GS with the ralley wheels and these came on it instead. He got pissed and immediately replaced them with some mags and stored these wheels and caps for years and years and years.

    According to the build documentation for this car, it originally came with the chrome ralley wheels, but I was looking for something different. I was very luckey to score these from a very nice member of the V8 board.

    I think he had them on the car for about a week Mike before he put them on the shelf on his garage. They are about as close to "new" as you are going to get. Glad to see them put to a good use! :TU:
