I'm now without OZ'z

Yes I no longer own a set of OZ racings 18" rims

but I do now have a nice set of 92 Olds OCC 15" aloys that oddly happen to be attatched to a dark blue 92 Olds custom cruiser...

and for now my 91 that has been the home of the OZ rims now wears these ralley rims
they are the ones Mr Crovo passed on...

there were dirty and rusty looking



but they sort of clean up

Pat, I had no idea you were getting rid of the OZ's. When should I expect them to arrive?

oh , if you can wrestle Mike for them, I gess ASAP, but he now has doors on his garage, and he locks it...

Those cleaned up nicely Pat. Better than I expected they would anyway.

No pics of the OZ's yet, gotta get some tires first.

Doors?? On the garage?? Are you sure we're talking about the same Mike?

Just wait, there's more!......

yes, but still has no walls on his pole barn!

I would have never dreamed you would part with them Pat. Of course I got the Wide Whites Out of you so anything has a value.

I have these if anyone knows of anyone out there. Just couldn't get used to the wagon looking like a jumper. Nice wheels,a friend of mine owns them,hates them on his Monte Carlo as well.

He was owed money and was given the wheels and tires instead.

Ok I can see where you put the oranges, but where does the juice come out?

I got a set of them too, 17" though...

Pat! Those wheels came out nice! You could get some trim rings to hide the rust on the edges...

I don't know why I missed this post I was wondering how those would clean up.

Stopped off at the shop on the way to work this morning. On my way home they had these ready for me.




Chris please don't kill me, the car is a little dusty. It's blocked in the garage by construction materials at the moment....

Whoo!!! Those look great! (LMAO on the "Penny" lip test)

Now you gotta paint your rear drums and front calipers!

I noticed that when I took the stockers off. Just what I need, another project, LOL!

At least I had Crovoed my drums and calipers satin black when I ran them same rims on my wagon.....

makes that blue RMW look like it should be mine....

I want my wheels back.


J/k- I'm really laughing at the trip they've taken. Lets see.... Made in Italy. Sent to USA. Sat in warehouse for 8 years. Sold to guy in Georgia. Sold to guy in Canada. And now, sold to a guy in Virginia. If they make it more than a year on the same vehicle, I'll be surprised.

Hopefully you won't be surprised. My goal is to put them on the Caprice if I ever get the thing back on the road.

winter has set in and I'm now running the stock steel wheels with snow tires, and I've been in here where it's warm cleaning up those chrome ralleys. I'm toying with a few options....

I'm cleaning the cap by soaking them in CLR, leave them in there a few hours and the rust just disolves away....

before I put the snow tires on



off the car and in a warmer space we can see what the road salts have done....




all clean and sparkling....



some ideas

Those cleaned up nicely! I do like the spinners with the Buick emblem.

Hey Mike, What tire size did you get for your OZ wheels?

I wanted something that would keep the tire really close to the OE size so my speedo would be close. I ended up with 235/55/18's That still gives me some reasonable sidewall too so the ride isn't overly harsh. So far they ride and drive pretty nicely.

I've been quite happy with the tires. Pretty quiet and hold the pavement nicely without following highway grooves too much. And a nice aggressive looking directional tread too, lol. Um, Goodyear Fortera TripleTred. Rated quite well on tirerack except for the wear but since I don't put too many miles on the Roady that wasn't a concern.

Pat, did you use the Never-Dull?

haven't been to michigan since we talked about the product

Looks nice pat...I like the Buick emblem sans spinner. Glad to see you are tinkering!!

Just noticed this I like the spinner with the emblem as well but would use a lower profile emblem.

Canadian Tire has Never-Dull.

Jay I boycott Cambodian Tire...

on another note those chrome rims have gone to a better home.... but their new owner gave me his buick turbine rims

So...are the 1st favorite Buick wheels now off your Estate Wagon? Your 2ond fav look a whole lot nicer with the whites out Congrats!

my #1 favourite buick rim are still on my 93, I beleive that my #2 favourite buick rims are going to get the blacked out area painted dark metalic grey

I also think they look better with the white walls out

Taping them off is a lot of fun. Enjoy!

you guys are swapping rims kinda like teenage girls swap outfits,..just so folks won't see you in the same thing twice,...

Nick

Wow. Have the O.Z.'s made it for a year on the same car yet?

two more months to go then mike will have had them a full year
