Five 1953-56 Buick Skylark/Other Wire Wheels

[allcars]

Set of five genuine Buick 40-spoke wires, 15 x 6-inch size. Correct for 1953-54 Skylark and 1954-1955-1956 Series 60 Century, 50 Super and 70 Roadmaster. Often used on 1957 Buicks as well, and on many other cars, hot rods, etc.

These wheels need to replated but are in exceptional condition otherwise...the rims are not bent or chipped, lug and locator pin holes are excellent. The chrome is bad on the inset of the rim faces but otherwise they are really pretty good.

These wheels are extremely clean and appear to either be deteriorated NOS or were an excellent set of cores that were replated once and never mounted, but have started to peel anyway. They don't appear to have had tubes or tires mounted since new or restoration. The close-up photo shows some of the worse chrome lifting on the rims...all five have this to some degree in this area of the rim, but this one is the worst.

Please note one more time:THESE WHEELS NEED REPLATING. But, they are without a doubt among the finest sets of unrestored cores you'll ever find.

Four of the wheels are date coded 9/55 and one is date coded 3/56. (The date codes are on the inside of the rims and cannot be seen once tires are mounted.) NO spinners or lug bolts are included.

I am looking for $600 firm for the set. I don't want to pack and ship them...they are offered for pick up only! I live just northeast of Detroit, about an hour and half north of Toledo/I-80 (Ohio Turnpike) and might be able to meet a buyer near Toledo who is going to, or coming from Hershey, etc.

Call me at 586.212.6057 to discuss.

Thanks.
