    I posted elsewhere in the forum and got no responce. Need someone to tell me about the wire wheel hub caps on my 72 GS 350 convertible...what else did Buick put this particular hubcap on??? The spokes do NOT cross each other and I have not seen any like that in the junk yard or e-bay... what gives??? THANKS.. mike

    Mike I think we're in the same boat as far as rarity goes...

    I have yet to find another SINGLE wire hubcap for my full size car.

    One of the members on the board (TXGS) just bought a set not too long ago. So they DO exist, but are like gold when found. Another member (SportwagonGS) has the 14" caps on his 68 Skylark. They're pretty sleek!

    Here is a picture of one of mine. This is the full size 15" variety.

    A before and after shot when I tore them apart, polished and cleaned them....BIG difference in the appearance on the car!!

    wow I never knew they were so similar!!


    BTW, this is another before & after shot of both my caps..not a side by side of the GS and big car wheels.

    Went out to the shop and brought one in the house.. best I can tell that is the exact match... so I need to look for a skylark or GS to find them... is that correct???? Wonder what years are the same.... Thanks again... mike
