That is the version with spinner. A second 55 choice has a flat center disk ith a larger red buick reflector. Very commonly used on all kinds of cars and trucks back in the day.

 

Shit, that's a good looking hubcap. Off to the want-ads

 

Cragars and pinners.

 

Buicks.com shows a "ribbed" cap for 55 Buick. So what are THESE????

 

Hey Groucho,
Wasn't this car on ebay? Is it yours or did you buy it? I was looking at this car and think its badass! I would slam it on bigger whites and drive it.

 

Couldn't sell it on Ebay, so it's going under the knife!!

 

Great post guys. This realy gets my head spinning about what to do to my roadmaster.

 

Oh I forgot Buick did have a wire wheel option in 58. They have the Buick logo on them. Good luck finding them though. I haven't seen a set on Ebay for a while, but the last ones went for like 5K. Groucho that is one great looking Buick. I wish mine was that clean.

 

Thanks-DEFINATELY Radial WWW's. I'm "over" the crap ride of bias. I'd rather sacrifice a little look for a lot of comfort. What size, and how much? PM me

 

Just painted the wheels black and cleaned the old tires as good as they'll get (help Corky). I think i'd be OK with taking the coil spacers out of the rear (life's easy once in a while) and fresh whites for now. Maybe i'll try the Supremes off my Pontiac after this is lower. Thanks all, but still keep em coming. This has been great!

 

Man that's a beautiful car.
