Sledsel Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 One of those old simple kits that build up to look so nice. Outstanding job on this build! FYI, want Buick wheels? Maybe someone has a set from the Monogram GSX...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skylark GS midsize wheels were different than the Riviera wheels, but they ARE Buick wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the monogram is a 1/24 scale making the size correct, or more correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full size wheel with the 5 on 5 bolt pattern has a 1-peice front. The smaller wheel with the 5 on 4 3/4 is a 2-peice. Much like a Magnum 500 wheel but with the spokes curved in instead of out. It may not be a big difference to some but it is to those of us trying to replicating a car we owned. BTW, the midsize wheels were available in 14 and 15 inch sizes. BUT, the wheels on most models are made to fit the tires, not the other way around so those Monogram 1/24 "14 inch" wheels actually scale out to around 16 inches in 1/25.

Yes they are quite different. I always liked the Riviera/Wildcat wheels myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
