    Vintage Buick Wires to be specific...but a clone of would suffice as the real deal probably is huge money if not impossible to find.

    Of those 2 ...... wires. Would be interesting to see salt flats just for the hell of it.

    I am unanimous. Wires suit a big luxury car like that. Dare I say, it might even look better not lowered? Compare the pic with the red convertible.

    Wires seem to make the biggest visual impression.
    It also depends what kind of visual statement you are trying to make.

    If you can get the real GM wire wheels, it would work.
    Any other wire wheel would be a big no from me, anything but the wire wheels. Gene

    Wires. As I scrolled down from the top, I felt myself smile when I scrolled down to the wires and realized what this thread is all about. Definitely wires.

    I like coke bottles... Seems a hotrod vs custom question. Then questions... Like are you going to the lower the rear?

    But wires suit it well, if those are the only option. But I'd leave it.

    BOTH look good. The wires look better.
     
  26. These are the actual wheels I’m looking at buying

  27. I voted wires, it suits that car..mags are for Hot Rods (your car doesn't have the Hot Rod vibe, it does have potential as a custom).
    The wires shown would be more authentic looking if the center cap colors were down played.
    Nice car.

    Wires. I agree the center caps would look better without all the color.
