Post by: Buick_65 on February 11, 2017, 04:35:07 PM: I need a set of the spoked special wheel covers from 64/65. Anybody have some they are willing to part with?

Sorry, I sure can't help you with your question, but thanks for posting the photo. I think I saw a Buick convertible with these wheel covers back in the 1980s and 90s, but eventually it disappeared. I didn't realize it was just a wheel cover - it is a beautiful makeover!

Best of luck in trying to find them!

Cheers, Edouard :occasion14:

I believe they were used to 1970 but with a notch style center, so if you need spokes or the back these can be taken apart to assemble really nice ones! The other GM's also used the wire covers with different spinners ,but if you need parts this is some place to look!
