Nice find! These Regal's are great cars when they're in good shape. I wish I could've gotten mine when it had less miles on it.

The chrome wheels that come on these are a sad story. They look great but the chrome peels off on the rim of the wheel resulting in leaks.
The Bonneville wheels would look better if the gold mesh was black to match the car.

That'd look real good!!

I like the gold but agree black would be nice too. Keep the polished lip.

Not really big into the whole black rim movement but on some cars it looks good. In your case, black webbing with a polished lip would REALLY set your car off. It'd look way sporty too!!

Very nice looking Buick. Wheels? I think they both look very good. It's just a matter of personal taste, but I agree peeling chrome is a definite turn-off. - BC

Lovely looker. The paintwork looks superb!

Looks sweet. I'm all for the black laces with a polished lip.

You say you took it off? I've found that the more dip you apply the easier it is to take off since it's more likely to come off in one piece.

I had gold laces on my old Bonneville and I hated it. I ended up painting the webbing black and I liked the look. I'd go with black webbing. FWIW I did the webbing on the 96 GTP body color.

Bonneville before


After


And body color on the other car

Harro - those both look great! That's a good looking wheel option.

Bumzag - That's the thing about plasti-dip. You've REALLY got to layer it. LOTS of light coats and it turns out well. It's a PITA especially with all of those little holes but the finished product could look cool. I saw a video on youtube about a similar wheel and it's a LONG process.

I wonder how bent 5's would look on there.

There's a guy near me with an '03 4 door Grand Prix with the bent 5's on it. I bet on a black GS they'd be just right!
