    I remember seeing a set of wheels while at the 1983 GSCA nationals. They looked like the corvette rally wheels but had a Buick center cap. What wheels are they???

    Are they like the camaro/corvettes with a Buick center or are they Buick specific???

    reason I am looking for a different look for the wagon.

    Those wheels were used in 1967 & 68 if you wanted disc brakes and rallye wheels because the typical Buick chrome wheel would not fit with the four piston disc brake caliper used in those years. You could also order those wheels (called rallye wheels) in '67/'68 if you did not have disc brakes.

    This link has a set for sale

    If you ordered them on a Skylark you got the red bird center cap, a GS got the tri-shield center cap.
