    Everyone loves the Buick Rallye Wheels. You love them, I love them... but who exactly makes them? Because I want soem, desparately. Are they factory original only, or does GM still make and sell them, or what's the deal here?

    YearOne has them, and so does Wheel Vintiques. You can order them directly from Summit Racing or Jegs and save on the shipping, as long as you're willing to wait a while.

    You can get custom sized ones through Specialty Wheel in Oregon.

    YearOne's website was very helpful in showing me my wheels... but it showed me a whole lot of them. Which ones do I want? how does the sizing affect them... and what does "backspacing" mean?

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    Two companies make the wheels, Stockton Wheel and Wheel Vintiques. Any other company that carries them are just resellers.

    Need to know your year and model too!

    Specialty Wheel is not a reseller. They custom make whatever you want.

    Thanks Phil, I forgot about them. So there is a total of 3 actual manufacturers.

    Buick Rally Wheels

    Hi,

    Have a '62 Buick Skylark and want to change to rally or mag wheels, car has 13" four lug bolt pattern 4 x 4.50 J.C. Whitney's has Buick Rally Wheels @ $139.- however they are 5 lug bolt pattern...After reading your messages, I tried to locate information of Speciality Wheels in Oregon, does anyone have the company address or telephone number and does anyone have experience with getting wheel made to fit their cars? Datsun mag wheels have same size, but I'd like to try and get Buick rally.

    Thanks,

    Ray

    You might wanna check outta a junkyard (unless your living in an area where car crushing is the norm) I got a set of 14'' rallys for $175 (they put the tire on the rim too) and they were straight and pretty shiny. Good luck finding a set for a good price.

    You can always find them on Ebay as well. I have always wanted a nice set of 15's but shipping can get costly - especially to where I live.

    Buick Rally Wheels

    To those of you who offered recommendations, I'll follow up until I get satisfaction and change my 13" wheels, making the car look better. Speciality Wheels doesn't offer 14 x 6" with four bolt lug bolt pattern, I may have to go with Datsun 280Z wheels which have same pattern I need?

    Thank you,

    Ray
