made by American Racing. I think they have a simalar look....well sort of like the SS wheel. To be honest i like them, but then I don't. I have thought about getting these myself. It's just when ever I think of spending the money I think of saving to get the Billet SS wheels!!

Could have swore that when I looked at these wheels 4 years ago or so American was making them? As for your Olds, The center cap changes out on the wheels. Change a center cap and you have an oldsmanbile wheel

I like the idea but way to much money for those wheels IMO
there is a lot of other nice wheels on that site for the money

That's funny. I stumbled on to the black Hot Wheels at Discount Tires last week and have seriously been thinking about those.

That was my thought. They don't look bad, and are priced pretty nicely.

I emailed discount tires.com they have no idea if they will fit the car

I vote for Chrome over the black finish, especially since you've got the big chrome bumpers to match, although those wheels are nice looking they don't strike me as a wheel that would mesh well with an Olds but if you can make it work then more power to ya.

As far as fitment is concerned you almost always have to figure that out yourself or though the forums, most companies that will verify any fitment usually err on the very cautious small side since every classic car is different and they can't be held responsible for every rubbing issue and such.

Oh and I like those Buick wheels, I thought they might look nice on mine but I get the feeling they are very HEAVY which my Buick's all wheel drum brakes wouldn't take very kindly too, but just as well I should probably leave that one alone with its original 14" Rallys! :)

CAD,
thanks for the quick photo shop
after looking at this I think black will not work on my car have to stay with a chrome or polished looking wheel

thanks again

Paint those wheel centers a medium silver gray (argent) on poilished hoop -or- black out the center parts on the polished rim to give them a Magnum 500 look. I know....wrong brand.

I've got them on my Challenger. Quality is better than expected for the price and they are different from the norm.

If you can find a pic of the wheels mounted on a car you'll get a better chop.

You've already got some pretty nice wheels on there. (Boyd Smoothies?)

Why are you looking to change?

this the only picture I can find on a vehicle that are the chrome ones https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/7831/10131021908641456285ea0ne1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

The above image with the polished ones doesn't look too bad!

The black on the other hand is just kinda blah... and I'd agree that they look better than the Boyd wheels that have that "flare" type thing going on and the end of the spoke where it meets the barrel.
