    15x8 has 4.5 backspacing
    15x7 = 4.25
    15x10 = 4.5 > 6.0

    center caps should not be a problem.

    I want a set of 15x7 wg

    Hello,
    I'm interested in a set of 15x7 WG type wheels.
    Who is making them?
    how do I get on the list etc??
    I plan on putting the repro polyglas' tires on these, no big hurry, but if things are drying up, I'd like to get a set on the shelf!!
    Thanks,
    Jerry :TU:

    David, has anyone ever thought about or requested rally wheels in different diameters?
    Like 16" or 17" diameter?

    I really like the look of the "slightly" larger wheels on our Buicks, especially the torq-thrust style. But I also love the classic lines of our stock rally wheels...
    I'm curious what a 16" or 17" Buick Rally Wheel would look like? :Brow:

    Actually Wheel Vintiques sells them. They are called a billet "Magnum 500" and are available in Ford and GM bolt patterns and offsets. I was also thinking about getting a set as they would look pretty cool.

    I'm interested in the 16" too but for another reason. When shopping for tires I noticed that there was a far better selection in 16" compared to 15". I would like to see what a Buick rallye looks like in a 16".

    Their Magnum 500 looks more like a Mustang or Pontiac wheel. (steel and/or billet)

    They do make a steel Buick rally wheel, but it stops at 15"x10"
    :Do No:

    Big Buick Wheels

    At this time there is not any tooling of the Buick Rallye for a bigger size (16in or larger) in the industry. Cost of tooling far out weighs the demand.
    And Magnums are not Buick.

    Can the 15x8 be ordered in a 4.75 back space so it would look like the WG wheel from the outside?

    Are the spokes for the WG's polished chrome or matt finish like the original wheels?

    They are the polished wheels like the ones we show at the GSCA nats. The matt finish adds an extra $15.00 per wheel and takes an extra 4-6 weeks.

    I know the Magnum 500 is actually considered a Ford wheel, but I was just referring to it because it's a very similar style wheel. I guess I don't see the resemblence to a Pontiac rally wheel, but Wheel Vintiques does make a billet Pontiac rally also.
