1927 Buick parts

[Pops0807]

I  have a 1927 Buick Opera Coupe

I'm looking for the outer rims, not the wood spoke.

Does anyone have them for sell.

I live in San Tan Valley, AZ

Thanks

We need to know if it is a Master (40 series) or Standard (20 series) as they have different width 21" dia. rims.

I have (6) 21" rims for 1926-1927 Standard wheels.  4 of them are nice and straight, but have tires mounted (which I will be keeping for use on my car), so I don't know if they are deeply pitted or not.  The other 2 need a little straightening, but they are not bad as they easily fit over a wheel.  $50 each

location is near Portland, Oregon

Easy way to identify Buick Standard is 114" wheelbase; also motor coolant return tube exits from the front of the head and should look like photo below. Larger series Master has a wheelbase of 120" or 128" and motor coolant return tube is a manifold with 3 different tubes attached to top of the head.  Your car appears to be Standard.  Are you missing just 1 rim ?

Beginning in 1926, wheel size is based on diameter of tire bead.  If the wheel is removed from the car and the demountable rim is demounted, you can measure the wheel rim from the back side (over the brake drum) and get correct measurement. To measure the demountable rim, wrap a tape measure around the tire channel circumference. 21" rims should be approx 66" if the tape measure flattens out. Tape pictured below was not a good choice for this measurement.
