W bodies with the Wrong stock wheels

Did that one go in because the wheels were hitting the calipers?

The tq stars from my GTP clear the calipers on my CS. I just had to grind down the caliper bracket a bit.

Exploder wheels on a Lumina?

Well, same 5x114.3 bolt pattern as Mustangs...but...not like there's a non-Ford center cap for them. Wonder if this one ended up in a rollover.

[l67ss]

[l67ss]

Kinda what I thought lol

I spy some W-body in this picture of traffic in Cuba

 

[vipmiller803]

Lumina rims for the win! I guess parting out the buick may be more profitable if I get it to Cuba first

That '55 Chevy in the foreground says "TAXI" in the windshield.  Pretty cool taxi.

[ManicMechanic]

I believe that to be a 1954 Dodge Kingsway. It appears to be a taxi as well but I doubt those are W body Lumina wheels, more likely Lumina APV wheels.

[Nas Escobar]

Nope, those are the Lumina wheels. I have em on my Z34. Well one of em is serving as  my full size spare on my Cutlass until I get my  19 inch wheels fixed. Although originalwheels.com lists the W body wheel design as available to the van as well, with the same part number (1665). Lumina APV's had the same bolt pattern as the W's, although I'm not sue of their backspacing. I know 1st gen W's have funky backspacing (41mm or so). 

 

Funny thing is that the van had better wheel options... or so the website says.

 

Available in 1990 and 1991

 

 

Available 1994-1996

 

The pic looks like they blacked out the center cap to cover (or shave off) the bowtie.

 

I'm more curious to know how it got all the way to Cuba.

[Psych0matt]

If I'm not mistaken the earlier lumina vans did have that same style of wheel, but with a different offset, or maybe only in 15", but something was different

[Euro]

Would they really be any different between the APV and car?  I can't see GM making 2 identical wheels differently for both vehicles.  

[ManicMechanic]

One is a 15" (APV) and one is a 16" (car).

[Nas Escobar]

Well then looks like were gonna have to go to cuba with a measuring tape and solve this mystery.

you mean like the early GP alloy 5 spoke wheels that were available as both 15 and 16" varieties?

[Euro]

One is a 15" (APV) and one is a 16" (car).

 

The Euro sedan had the 15" offered in 90-93 as well.  The one in the picture looks 16" to me.

My 08 Impala with some 16" Bonny wheels i got at a junker. Don't know what year exactly but they're better than the factory steelies and caps that i had on.

 

I'm looking to find some 17" GP wheels though. I dont really care for any factory 17" wheels that was offered on the 00-13 Impalas.

[Nas Escobar]

Looks like those came off of a late 90's Bonneville.

[Imp558]

Those wheels are nice. Those would work on a lot of cars.

[CarlosS]

Thanks guys. I'm looking at the 04-06 i think GP 17s. Similar offset and a .5" diff in width.

[MemphisMan]

Saw this beauty today about a mile from where I work.

[94 olds vert]

I would asked if the rims are for sale. Those could be easily reconditioned.
