Need wheel suggestions for my Buick. Looking for some 17’s.

Thinking some sort of 5 spoke, but I don’t know if I want chrome ones, ones with black centers and a polished lip, or what.

I like the Simmon’s Type-F’s, but I don’t know how they would look with the chrome package on the car.

Pictures to help you out,

Yes, I plan on keeping these wheels/tires for track use. Just want something that looks good on the car to cruise with.

Kenny, the simmons (I think) look great on any Turbo regal and would definately look good on that blue limited. That is one good looking car you got there. Congrats on the new T and sorry for the loss of your previous Buick.

Put the originals back on.

Centerline has come out with some new styles, and they are offered in 17's check them out. They have a nice lip or dish which i think is needed for these cars and they are polished aluminum which has a nice finish but it wont go bad like cheap chrome.

I've seen these on a regal and they look really good.

I think they would look great if it were a black out car, but the chrome package makes me think twice. I need to photoshop a set onto the car and see how it would look. Think a black center might look kind of cool, match the tint.

Don't have them, and don't like how they look at all.

Thought about a set off a non turbo Regal, the wire style.

I've looked through thier line and didn't really find anything that I liked. One wheel I liked for a few days, then decided I didn't.

I was going to buy wheels from HERE like the five-n-dime or the three-60 but got too good of a deal on the TTIIs I've got. The cool thing about these rims is the "reverse" rim idea. If you look at most standard wheels you have the outer wheel lip and then about half way back to the center the wheel bumps up again, well on the "reverse" mounted outer rim the lip goes straight back to the center section. It keeps the hoop really smooth and the center piece can be much larger for any one particular wheel. If you look at the pictures of the wheels they are labeled as "standard" or "reverse" in the pictures so you can get an idea of what they're talking about, but all of the wheels are available in "standard" or "reverse" (and "reverse" doesn't mean reverse offset). Just something cool to look at.

Budnik has a lot of really nice wheels, but price is quite a bit on the high side.
