    Hey there Philly-Steak-Joe! If you find a good wheel, please talk to me about a possible restoration of your old/cracked wheel. I've got a friend who wants to try to restore Buick wheels. His specialty is VW/Porsche hi-end restoration steering wheels. Same materials he thinks. Anyway, don't throw that old cracked wheel in the junk. . send it to me. Wheelz, Tampa Bay

    I don't know if the later wheels, 67-up will work on the pre-67 models. Those earlier columns are different. I think the collar behind the wheel is a smaller diameter than the 67-up models. I don't have an early wheel. You should not have a problem finding one on Ebay or here. Just have to be patient. But, I am sure you found that out already.

    The 3-spoke sportwheel will work ! however you will need a smaller hub. they look fantastic on the older skylark and GS. IMHO ! :grin: Gary
