    What's your favorite kind of wheels/hubcaps/rims?

    Mine are Cragar SS wheels, but i don't have the money or time to buy some for my car, but later on i surely will. My opinion, i think the old buicks always looked like they were faster with cragars, but i like the sleeper look too:bglasses:

    Cragars

    I am partial to cragars myself...
    These are the newer "forged" Cragar SS wheels. No chrome to peel!:Brow:

    Awesome wheels! And nice car, paul. I don't know, i think the Cragar SS wheels with a buick emblem in place of the "Cragar" emblem would look even better:Brow:

    wheels

    Call me old fashioned but I love the look of the Original rally wheels on my 71 Riv. I also love real spoked wheels

    The original buick mags/rallys, how classic. I love 'em, after all, it makes the sleeper look more "fashionable", as you could say, and if your car is not a sleeper, it makes the car look like the classic it is.:TU:

    O yeah? I have a Buick road wheel center and a Motor Wheel Spyder cap at the machine shop right now. Can you guess my plan?

    :Dou: I can guess........lets see, you are going to customize the wheel, and let me tell you, that will be just as cool as the cragar with buick emblem. The spyder wheels would look awesoem with buick emblems.......:TU: :3gears:

    I'm real curious if it will look good. I'm having the machine shop cut the last inch of the cone so the Buick center will snap in with an adapter of some sort. I'll post pictures when I get the one back. If it looks good then the other centers will be getting decapitated. I have five centers and three are "nosed", which is real common to these wheels. I have two that are nice so if anyone wants to deal me some bad Spyder center caps, LMK.

    I personally like both the old GS rallies, but I also like these Cragar's. I don't know what style they are, just say them in the pic and on other cars. I think they are really sweet looking.

    When I was in high school I liked the Cragar S/S (like in Johnny's picture)

    But over the years... the Buick rally has really caught on for me. It's a timeless classic, and real hard to beat

    But if I couldn't have Buick rallies, I'd have to vote for the Keystone Klassic's

    I've also always had a soft spot for the Torque Thrust style wheels

    The only thing I like less than wire hubcaps... is super wide white wall tires.

    The Buick rallys are the best looking wheel there for a Buick,as long as the right tires go with them. BF Goodrich Rad. TA's look
    fantastic with the Buick Rim on any GS or Skylark!

    Smartin, i LOVE those spoked hubs caps, same goes with "gangster whites" aka huge whitewalls. but only on the RIGHT CAR!!! 30's-40's cars need gangster whites and spoke wheels. as for muscle car rims i like the weld "ultra lites"?...
