Wheel Identification

I took these off a 94 RMS in a local yard a while back. I've only seen one other Roadmaster with these wheels and am trying to find center caps. Anyone ever seen these? Any suggestions?

1998 Riviera

Check car-part.com for identification. They have images for many of the wheels now...

Did they have adapters on the RMS you took them off of? Rivieras have a smaller bolt pattern than the Roadmasters (AFAIK).

There weren't any adapters. The lug pattern is 5 x 5 and I had these on one of the 94's for a short time but the tires were somewhat worn. I've also seen something like them on a park ave but again I think the lug pattern would be wrong. I think I saw an rms on car domain that had a set like these but I can't find it now. Maybe a special edition or something. The car they were on had all gold emblems.

Could they not be an aftermarket wheel with an older style buick logo mounted to the center cap, cause that logo don't look centered on that cap. By the time Buick was making the Roadmaster in the 90's they had dropped the Stag head from their logo in the late 80's so the logo on that wheel is older than your car. The lock on the center cap also says aftermarket wheel to me. Gold emblems on a roadmaster says that it was blinged out at one of them after market shops where you can get them faux landau, faux convertible/coach roof treatments. I would say those wheels were part of the Bling package deal they got from that custom shop.

Yeah, look closely. That's an 8-spoke wheel while the one on the Riv pictured is 7-spoke. The design doesn't look identical either. Frankly it looks like a late '80s Mercedes wheel with a Buick emblem glued on.

Rivieras used all of the hardware from Auroras and shared much with the LeSabre/Bonneville platform, including hubs and brakes, IIRC.

I just remembered what those wheels are! They are Vogues. Optional dealer installed. Hard to find. They usually came on Cadillacs. This may help in the search. They are not GM. Keep searching ebay for something like "vogue center cap" and you may luck into something...

Thank you! Maybe I should have mentioned they had Vogue tires whenI got them but the tires were pretty worn out. Now I definately want to redo the wheels and find new caps.

Call the Vogue dealers in Florida. They might have caps. I checked, and those wheels aren't on the website anymore.

I think this is of Rivieras....I think it is clear for you now.....but even if you are not sure contact the dealor who will tell you the right thing......

I remember a '94 RMS that the Buick dealer I woked for used for a demo car that had those wheels, or at least very similar. I remember a screw securing the center cap, which is odd for GM. I thought at the time they were Riv wheels until I had to swap them to a different sedan somone bought that wanted them. It was clear they were not Riv rims. I thought they were kinda stupid looking, RMS base hub caps looked a lot like these wheels.

You are correct, and so is everyone that thinks Vogue.

The wheel is an Epic Octavo. Epic made them for Vogue. They are OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD. If you google a company called Prestige wheel accesories, they MIGHT have some left. You also might be able to modify another cap to fit.

I've always liked that wheel and wish I had a set.

Here they are on a hideous Escort wagon.

That is some good info. I have thought about trying different center caps and doing something different with the logo. Maybe by spring I'll actually have them on a car. Of course I've been known to change my mind - Firewood - you might get your wish!
