ramair Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hi, I am looking for a spare rim for my 1916 Buick D-55. Also would like to know if anyone makes a big headed rim bolt with fine threads to match the baker? I think they are 1/2 by 3 1/4 20 threads per inch. thank you, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Michael,I am also in need of an extra rim for a spare. I have put out an earlier request to no avail. It this what you are looking for also?http://forums.aaca.org/f119/wheel-rim-1915-buick-269750.htmlLarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramair Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Larry, my Buick D-55 has a dual spare tire carrier and when I bought the car it had 4 wheels on the ground and 2 spare tires, only one has a rim. This car has Firestone non-skids that were put on in the seventies they have hardly any wear on them and the car was stored indoors, but I worry that I might get a flat so I thought it best to get another baker rim. I might just run a ad to see if some museum is looking for some great Non-skids for a display maybe trade them for some new tires? If I find more than one Baker I will contact you with info.

Larry Schramm Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Michael,I will keep my eyes open also. Question, does your rims have the raised spacers around the inside?Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramair Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Larry, Not sure what you mean by raised spacer inside? However when I looked at your ad I suspect that the rims I am looking for are bigger in circumferance I think that the size of my tires 36 by 4 1/2 means that it is mounted on a 27 inch wheel, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
