This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Hello, would full caps like the above mentioned also work on a 1977 Buick Lesabre. Are they impossible to find? My car has nice original non-rally hubcaps but would like to change to the rally style look. Please let me know.

    Not sure I have ever seen the wheel covers that look like the chrome wheels. Got any pictures?

    The wheel covers that look like the rallyes are hokey. I've seen a few loose ones, but never on a car.

    When they are on a car you really can't tell the difference from the real wheels Adam . When I first bought my Riv they were on it . I never had a problem with them flying off . And from 10 feet they look the same . I believe first year was 74 and they went thru 76 or so .

    thank you each for the replies. Does anyone have a nice set for sale that would fit my car. I understand I could also go with the real rims instead. Thought it might be a start to have the caps with my current rims and tires and then perhaps buy some real rims to swap out? I suppose cost between the two options would be a consideration. i appreciate the guidance

    Hi Lou, please let me know if you happen to have a nice set available that would fit. Below is a picture of my car. Current caps are very nice but i think the rally look would make it a bit sportier looking. Thank you.

    Gents, these are re chrome and one is stock chrome. I refinish by re chrome , add color by powder coat to webs, and clean and polish stock Formula 5 Buick Roadwheels. Prices range from $150-$600 depending on chrome finish you choose. Additional powdercoat color for the webs is $150. The webs have to have the chrome removed, a sanded, then powdercoated.
