    I have a set of Buick Mags off of an 81 Regal and was thinking they may look nice on the Electra. Any input?

    If you post pics, I can Photshop them in so you can see how they would look.

    They are 14s right? Regal runs on 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern, Isn't that Electra 5x5 like your wagon? If they are 15's and the Electra has the small bolt pattern, hell yes, get them on there.

    I have a set of them, 14x6 from my 84 Regal, but they will not fit anything I have now.

    See if they fit. I have seen Buick wagons with the rallys on and they look great.

    You know, I ain't sure. I got them as a gift from a friend who got rid of his Regal, and I ain't touched 'em yet.

    If they are 14's they probably won't fit due to the size of the brakes. Your bolt pattern is 5X5 the Regal will be 5X4.75 .

    Flats, he is not allowed to run spokes. I will drive out there, pull them off in the middle of the night, beat him over the head with them in his sleep, run out the door and drive to the nearest dumpster and throw them away!

    What he needs is Electra Aluminums. Infact, I need me a set of them too.

    Should have said something. I saw a set on Craigslist a while back for like $50. But there are many options out there.

    The Dishes look good on your Boxer, but I don't really like the looks of them on a Roadmaster. Sorry Ian, I know that is what you have, but I just don't feel them. Wish I knew about them Turbines when they were posted up Stick, they look real good on Roadies! The cost of scrap being so high last summer, cleaned everyone out of aluminum wheels around here.

    Sorry for the gigantic pic size...

    The wheels on my cutlass are 14x6. Hell I like em so much I've got a 15" set so I can go to a 15x7 steelie and run wires... Nice touch to make it a little more unsuspecting.
    Did I mention I'm building a sleeper? Hoping for 13.9's.
