I bought this set of Buick stick on emblems from Ebay for my ARE wheels for a whopping $5.50 to my door, they are nice quality and give the wheels a different look.

Much better! Didn't know they still made those, used to use them a fair amount back in the 80s

The rims they have been discontinued for many years, I remember seeing them long ago but this is the first set I have owned that I bought a couple years ago off CL and paid $150 for the set of 15" x 8" rims. I think they fit the look of the car pretty well .
They are also pretty light only weighing a pound more (minus center cap) over my 15" x 8.5" Convo Pros.

I was talking about the center ornaments, but I like the wheels too, they'll look good on the car.

I did the same thing with my 5.0L mustang. The cheap self adhesive emblems have held on for 3 years and 2 sets of tires. I bought two sets of emblems "just in case" but the originals I put on still look good after 30K miles.
I will probably do the same but I just wanted to see what they looked like in person, I will have to see if I can pull another $5.50 out of my budget.;)

Because mine were unlicensed Chinese knockoffs that were exactly the right size (all the official ones were .25" too big), I was afraid I might not be able to find another set in the future, so I sprung for the extra $5.00. I'm pleasantly surprised they have lasted this long.
