SOLD-Rally Wheel Identified

[Riviera63]

I have a set of 4 Rally wheels which came with one of the 63 Rivieras I bought. Three of them are on one of the car and one was loose inside the car. The loose one that I brought home seems to be in pretty decent shape. I have not done an extensive search on the wheels for markings but, I did find some. Attached are pictures of the wheel and the stamped markings that I have found. If someone could help with deciphering those markings it would be greatly appreciated. The register hole is 2 1/8". Might there be other markings that I could look for? Is it possible to tell from the markings I have pictured what these wheels were originally from and what they would fit? Thanks.

 

Cleaned up with better pictures below.

#975 15x7 8th generation wheel from a 1982. Not sure what model it was available on. Surprised it does not have the seamless face like earlier wheels.

That 15x7” wheel is the one that came on the A body cars starting in 1971. (Think 1971-72 GSX.) You’ll notice in the listing that Jason posted that it has the intermediate car 4-3/4” bolt pattern. Won’t fit the Riviera’s 5” bolt pattern.  Also identifiable by the two piece design.

From Hemmings:

 

1971 - 1972 Buick GSX 
 

“Sales code F7, the Super Wide Oval group, provided now-desirable 15 x 7-inch chrome-plated five-spoke wheels, commonly referred to as Rallye wheels, shod with G60-15 Wide Ovals. Today, it's not unusual to find modern radials mounted in place of the original bias-plies.”

Thanks for the info guys. I never thought to check bolt pattern. This explains why it was loose in the car and not mounted on the car with the other 3. Someone along the way bought the wrong wheel.

Linda’s older son bought a hooptie Honda from a Tote the Note lot in town.  He showed it to me and I commented that it had no spare tire. He went back to the lot and a guy threw a donut spare into the trunk.  He had a flat on the interstate going back to college a few months later. Right sized tire and wheel, wrong bolt pattern.  Big tow bill and flat repair.

Here are pictures of the wheel cleaned up. It seems to be in pretty good condition. I know it will not work on our Rivieras but, someone here may know someone or someone may have another Buick this could work on. Make me an offer plus shipping. PM me if interested. Here are the specifics as per Team Buick. Thanks.

In the Mopar world, those are called "Magnum wheels".
