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?
