Are they hard to find and/or valuable? I put different wheels on my car, should I hang on to these or get them out of the way? They are O.K., but far from perfect.
My opinion keep em . You might change your mind and want to run the stocks again .... You could always blast em and powder coat em too!!! Then again you know what they say about opinions ....
This one is the worst: This one is possibly the best, but all three others are about the same: What the Hell, shop dogs? Where did you come from?!?!?
Get some of those 2 bar spinner caps they put on the fake wires and the plain old hubcaps if you want a diffeent look...
I already put different wheels on my car, I was just wondering if I should keep the stock wheels for a rainy day.
Those where popular wheels back in 65-66. In popular customs from those years you see alot of non Buicks rolling those.
It's on now... http://losboulevardosmessageboard.com/ New address! BTW I love those wheels. I have a set for my Electra. The pre-67 ones have a cool deep offset that are almost a reversed look.
I'd hang on to them. They aren't expesive. The caps are worth what the wheels are. I'd say $100-$200 without caps, $200-$300 with. Here is what I did with mine since I don't have center caps.
Both '65's that I've owned came with the finned conical center caps, not the flat ones. Do you know which ones are correct for the '65? I'd keep 'em anyway. I usually have a couple sets of wheels for my cars. You can really change the attitude of the car just by swapping the tires. Later, Mike
I'm not a fan of the stock wheels. They'd be nice for spares, but I'd sell them and use the money on the car. But that's me...
