Guest speedjunkie Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'm looking for at least 3 Buick wheels that would fit a Special. I don't mind going with the wider 6.0" wheels, but I'd need a full set of 5 for that, as I have 2 of the original 5.5". Thanks in advance!Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davii Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Mike, I have a package that might be of interest to you. I changed out the wheels on my 55 Special for a Wire Wheel/Coker Radial combo. Thus I have four wheels (which have been sandblasted down to the metal and ready for the correct Buick red paint); four Buick hubcaps with the red plastic center all in good shape and four two-ply whitesidewall tires that are probably 40 or so years old, but with plenty of tread on them. All in all, a nice correct look for the 55. If you'd like pictures, send your e-mail address to me at jstevedavis@comcast.net. I planned to list them for sale on the Forum and on e-Bay as a package, but just haven't had time to get around to it. Price to be determined if you're interested in the package. I live in Santa Fe so shipping has to factor into your decision. Steve Davis BCC#46041 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
