    Looking for a 16" saddle sport wheel for my 70 GS beater. Not dark saddle, but saddle.

    Thanks!

    Ryans-GSX Have fun, life is short.

    Jason,
    Just a thought. What about getting one in any color and painting it like you did your interior. I am shocked how well the color on it matched the original color.

    Not as shocked as I was! Its holding up well too. Still looks good. The thought of painting one had crossed my mind, but I'd rather hold out for the right color.

    I don't. I do have a 16" 1968 simulated wood wheel if your interested.

    Wow, you weren't kidding, that's a pretty crappy picture:D But it looks to be a 15" wheel, not a 16" thumb groove:(

    A thumb groove wheel has a depression around the circumference. They came on 69 and 70 Buicks. Your thumb kinds rests in it when your driving. Its also an inch larger around than a 71 and up wheel. A 71 and up wheel actually fits inside the this wheel. I stole this pic off the interweb
