    Awesome thanks, ok yeah my interior is green but black is what I was thinking.
    However I actually like the wood finish & I could easily die/paint the center piece.
    Gives me something to think about I might start looking at images of Buick interiors see what I think. What do you recon, below is my GS

    Did you just buy that out of the states that was for sale last year right ? I will try and go with a green sport wheel.

    No woodgrain it's a factory saddle wheel for a 71 - 72 GS or skylark.

    Darryn, a green sport wheel would be perfect in your car. Post in the parts wanted section of the forum. You might get lucky.

    Good luck in getting a correct color green wheel for a 71. 69 & 70 are darker green. Even better luck on getting a center cap in green the correct color!!! Yes, I know that ugly alternative to the factory base wheel. It was also available on 1971 Pontiac Lemans with a different center cap.
    You may be better off getting a standard black sport wheel, get a wheelskins cover in green, and the black button and column adapter for the sport wheel.

    Another member (Larry70GS) got one for his tan wheel and it looked sharp!
