Looking for a set of rims from an 83 Skylark T type

[Brad Zeidler]

They're 14" rims, or can someone find the part number for them, also a set of the taillights for same. They have a factory smoked cover over them

Do you have a picture of what these rims look like? I have some 1980's 14 inch Buick wheels, but I don't know exactly what they are off of. They were on a 1972 Skylark I bought years ago. If you were local, I would give them to you.

I didn't think they had Skylarks in 83.... Just Skyhawks.

There were "Sommersets", but I thought those were just FWD regals (Like Cutlass Calais). Not sure on if there were any Ttype versions of those.

Got a pic of the car?

Based on the Citation X body platform

Yes they had Skylarks, based on the same platform as the Chev Citation(front drive). I've got the 83 Buick "Ttypes" brochure, just haven't figured out how to use my scanner/printer to post a pic yet. The rims are aluminum and of course are unique to the Skylark Ttype.

I dont think those 14" alloys in the brouchure ever made it into production. I dont recall ever seeing them anyway. Most of the 'Lark TTs I can remember came with the 13" Buick steel rallys. They are listed in the parts catalog but there is no number for them. Hey does it say the 14" wheels were standard equipment on the T-Type? I did notice that any X-body(i.e. Citation X-11,Phoenix SJ) that came with standard alloys were all 14X6. The 13 inchers were all steel wheels. I'm scanning the catalog as I'm writing this. I did find a part number for the center cap on the alloys so it appears they did come with them. Part number on the cap is 25515535. Whats strange is the Skylark T-Type was available in 83 and 84 only. This cap is only shown in the 83 catalog.There is another number shown for a 84 and it is part number 25523781. Sorry no number for the wheels. In 82 they were called Skylark Sport Coupes

Stupid question? Are you looking for alloy wheels from a Buick? As a last resort you could always use some 14 inchers from a Century T-Type from the A-body platform. Watch out for those. GM used two different bolt patterns. 115mm and 120mm IIRC. The X-body used the smaller ones. I think the hubs interchange anyway. Plus the larger bolt pattern wheels are usually wider. Almost 7" in most cases.
