- Here is my replacements for my Warped Buick Road Wheels. Hard to see because they are powder coated in a darker charcoal gray. I think they look pretty darn good, better than expected. Pretty rare from what I understand to find these vintage wheels in a 5x5 pattern. The newer ones made today are two piece, these are one piece. I think it gives the wagon a nice aggressive look!
Those Road Wheels are HEAVY? How were they warped? I've had three sets on various cars and they've always balanced perfect. WEIRD! | |

| Those look good barber.
I've heard the Buick wheels have reputation of being bent, how, I don't know..... Old people driving Buicks into curbs maybe?

| Warping may have come from overtightening the lugnuts and the fact these wagons are so heavy.New wheels look great!Whats next? |
