    Somehow, I've ended up with only three 14" rally wheels. Seems like a hard part to lose..... but I've looked everywhere and can only find 3 of them. :Dou:
    Anyone have a fairly nice one somewhat close to Tiffin Ohio (44883), and is willing to ship it?
    I'd buy 2 if I had to. One of my three isn't too nice.
    Heck.. I might even buy a whole set if they came with some decent white letter tires and I could pick them up (somewhat local). I need to buy tires anyways.

    I don't want to spend too much though. My long term goal is the new 17" Buick rally's, so these 14" rims will only be used for a year or two of casual cruising, and an occasional 1320 foot romp. :laugh:

    For what it's worth... I think I have a full set of 15's with decent tires on them that I would be willing to trade. They don't look right on a 67 in my opinion. I had them on my green 67 for a while. The backspacing isn't right or something.

    Thanks for the replies guys.
    Andy, what do you want for your set? Do they come with tires? Got any pix?
    I'll be in your neck of the woods Saturday morning for work.
    Maybe we can work something out!

    Are the three you have old style or new- newer ones have less backspaceing to clear disc brakes. I have both.

    Oops... I didn't realize there were several styles in the 14" wheels.
    I'll have to take one back off and check it out.
    Thanks

    Hey Rick. No tires on these, bought them for my 85 Regal 5-6 years ago, sold the car the and they've been in the boxes ever since. It looks like the back-spacing is 3 1/2 ". Drop me your email and I'll send you some pics. Where you headed to Sat?

    Thanks to everyone who responded.... but I'm an idiot.
    I found 2 more 14" wheels buried under some 15" wheels and old tires. :Dou:

    But for just for future reference....
    The one good wheel I have on the car in the rear is a 4" backspacing.
    The ones I have on the front are 3 1/2" backspacing.

    I like the 4" backspace in the rear on this car. It's a 67, but it has a 68/69? posi rearend in it which I think is like an 1" or so longer than a 67 rear end. So the extra 1/2" of backspace keeps the tire nice and centered in the wheelwell.

    Thanks again, but it looks like my "wheel emergency" is under control now.
