Buck531 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 So I picked these up on CL back in April. Peeling really bad. They are 17" buick Lucerne rims. I had them blasted and a friend of mine up north powder coated them. Hard Coal Metallic. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Lucerne%20Rims/coalmetalliclucerne_zpsaf677757.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Lucerne%20Rims/coalmetalliclucerne2_zps9511a1b9.jpg What they were before. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Lucerne%20Rims/CAM00368_zpsdc7ffbc6.jpg Btw. I'm getting them coated for nearly nothing (cost of powder). Paid $140 for them. Spent a few weeks cleaning them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve R. Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Opinion on what? You never really asked anything. Apparently you need someone to put it in text. :dumb: Bought wheels in fair/deteriorating shape for cheap, Has only supplies and personal time in refinishing them. Maybe he wants to know if others think they are worth it? ---- Buck, they look great. I think they will look better than most aftermarket wheels. Are they lighter than they appear in the second pic?

Not sure. I'm guessing they might be a little lighter in the sun. He took this pic at 1 am in his garage. Lighting wasn't optimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 They look better than the wheels you have on it now, so I say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I like the original chrome wheels better. BTW, they're wheels, not rimzzzzzzzzzzz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Keep it stock. Buicks are "luxury cruisers", not rice mobiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Im guessing the lucerne wheels are 17s instead of 16s? That alone would look better. Some deville dts wheels might be cheap and nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Eh I say do it. It'll be subtle enough that most people won't notice, but us car guys will be like "oh that's a nice touch". Clean, cheap, and subtle, right up my alley, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some deville dts wheels might be cheap and nice too. Yep. 17" x 7.5 I think. I looked into the DTS wheels and there is a Regal with them on there and it does look good.. but they're pretty pricey. For the price of this I can't beat it. At the end with selling my existing tires/rims I'll only be into this entire set with tires/rims for under $200.
