    My beloved '53 Special (not the one shown below) will probably need new tires next year, as its Coker Classics are 10 years old. I drive the car at least 750 miles a year, so I was thinking of saving the $750 or so and just going with some blackwall radials, and I was thinking about doing something along the lines of another member's car (pictured below). Mine sits at stock height, but I'm considering some dog dish hubcaps with either the "Buick" script or wide spaced block lettering and some trim rings. It looks like CARS, Inc. sells a reproduction set, but they're $400. My car is quite nice, but not 100% perfect, so if anyone has a nice driver quality set they'd be willing to part with, I'm in the market. Thanks for listening!

    wheelz 'B' is for Buick.

    Aaron, I have a THOUSAND+ vintage hubcaps & trim rings... However, I do not know with 100% certainty, but I know there SHOULD BE a set of BUICK small hubcaps in the bunch...
    Lemme ask, are the hubcaps on the car in the attached pix, the style YOU ARE LOOKING FOR???

    Hi Wheelz,

    Hold off on looking for now...I'm buying a set from a guy over on the Buick Club site. I'll let you know if it falls through for any reason. Thanks!
