    I'm partial to wires there BF, that's why my caprice is still sporting them. I actually took them off and put them on the buick and really liked the look, much better than the Torino ones on there now.

    That is true Ian. But, I did have a 77 Bonnie that had 5x5 and it was a sedan. The main thing is, if they are the stock wheels from a Regal, they are 14x6 and even the largest 14" tire is gonna be too short for the Electra.

    Tom, I know you love your spokes, I thought we had a long time running, inside joke thingy, going on about the spokes, lol. You love them, I hate them, you run them and I threaten to steal them and dumpster them, remember?

    My rims and tires on my wagon right now are off my buick, they had nicer tires, so I am sure that they won't fit if they don't fit wagons.

    And I know you're joking about the spokes, that's our thing LOL. I enjoy it annd am just playin' along :)

    If they fit CE, I would use them. I always liked the rim style on the Buicks (the one on the ad) and the newer Electra alum. wheels.

    HAHA, you are a pretty fart smeller there Ian. I bet with white walls or white letered tires I would probably like them. And you are right, it is your car and my opinion is just that, an a-hole opinion. Wide whites would look dang good with them wheels and I do not even like whitewalls.

    You can sell it to a guy from Portage, Wisconsin who would love the look of either. I REALLY dig the moons. Saw some on a roadmaster sedan in Rio today.
