A friend of mine is moving to florida and was clearing out some stuff he doesn't want to take. He called me up last week and told me he had a set of buick wheels he didn't want anymore and I just stopped by to pick them up.
They are 14x7 buick rallye wheels off of an 82 regal turbo sport coupe. He swapped these wheels out with some aftermarket ones and sold the car years ago, but forgot all about these. They are in good shape so I am going to polish them up and see what I can get for them. They were made as far back as the 70's and were used on a lot of buicks.
Replicas on Coker tire are 214 a wheel, so I can probably get a fair price for these

Very nice. As you say, if you polish em up a bit, with a bit of luck and patience you should be able to sell them for a tidy sum.

I hope so, they were stored in a shed for like 20 years but they are still in fair shape for the age. I expect the chrome bits to polish out nice.
At first I figured they were worth scrap until I did a little reading online, it seems people do buy these.

Nice score! Since you have the touch, let me know if anybody wants to give away early 2nd gen Z/28 wheels.

Magnum 500 wheels are some of the best looking wheels ever made. It's amazing how versatile they are. Back in the 60s most American manufacturers used them.

I would love to get an old school GTO/Le Mans one day. My dad used to have a 69 Le Mans with a 350HO 4bbl and a muncie rock crusher 4spd that ran high 12's at englishtown raceway park back in the day. He also had a 66 GTO with a 396 that someone stole out of a chevelle that he won in a poker game which he eventually flipped for cash.

I wouldn't say I have the touch, I have some friends who have gotten free cars haha. I have a friend who used to be big into F bodies but he's moved on, I think he used to have a set of those wheels to.
