JZRIV Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 That's a real nice deal for someone in the area. Those look like original lug nuts. Might want to mention if they are they included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWB Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) From an estate sale. Here are pics per someones request. Slight pitting near a valve stem and a balance weight. Slight fade on an "R". Should clean up no prob. I'm putting a set of NEVER used NOS Super Deluxe caps on this new lady. Classssssssssssss Edited May 14, 2016 by PBouker (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Nice wheels! These wheels will fit a 1966 - 1970 full size Buick assuming of course they are off the Riv in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZRIV Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Pop one of the center caps off. If X stamp on cone they are drum brake wheels. No X, disc brake wheels.......assuming they are original to 1967. If I lived in FL these would already be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Check the date code on the tires. If they are over 5 years old they are past their safe service life. If the tires are removed it would make shipping easier and cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWB Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 All drums. If you look at the pics you may see their bright silver selves thru the cooling slots. Too bad it would cost a fortune to ship these beasts. And I don't have room for them. Wait til ya see my SD's dressed in red: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965rivgs Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Is there any rust in the grooves on the wheel faces? If so, could you post a pic of the worst of it? Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 19Silver63 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Will the 66 wheels for sale fit on a 63? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Does anyone know where I can get a set of OEM style acorn lug nuts (like the ones pictured above) for my road wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 http://www.oldbuickparts.com/cart/wheel-nut-1963-75-buick-riviera-ss-p-1362.html has the closest you can get. They are stainless but correct physical appearance. For anyone with desire the stainless can be buffed further to look like chrome. The originals were chrome plated. I had a set of originals re-plated for same price as stainless but practicality leans far towards the stainless ones from CARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'll have to remove the register ring inside the wheel. The wheels will no longer be "hub centric" but there are many of us '63 and '64 owners who have made this switch. The wheels will be centered with the lug nuts rather than the register ring. Anytime you see a '63 or '64 Riviera with the factory rally wheels, you know that this is the case. One exception, IF you find a set of '64 wheels, they'll not have the register ring, but they were only available on the WIldcat. Those wheels were not available as an option on the Riviera until 1965. Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
