Yes they will need to be cleaned up, but I was in shock finding them today! I never thought I could find slot mags to fit our wagons! What a Face

Sweet find!
American Racing started remaking them in 2005 if anyone is looking for a new set.

I am waiting to see the results of the de-golding. I am sure they will look a lot different once the gold is gone.
The center cap has got to go too! Of course this is coming from a guy who has 3" bullets on his centercaps!

Not my favorite look but certainly not bad. I too would like to see them without the gold. There is enough chrome on the car that the gold just doesn't quite work.

That's not Gold on them there spokes! that's um that "R" word hence why I want to blast em and paint em....

and yes I think spinners would look way better than those acorns

Three or two ears, or should I go with classic hexagons with a buick logo in the center?

Do you even have to ask about using center caps with a Buick logo?
Are they knock offs, bolt on, or spline drive?

they are knock offs, not as in cheap coppies but as in you can take the rim off once the acorn is removed.

Well the r word looks like gold in the video, I think that is amusing that we all thought they were gold spokes! lol!

Does look like a juicer. Have you tried it with a grapefruit yet?
