    Is it possible to put Ferrari rims on a 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon?

    As long as the bolt pattern and the offset are correct, sure why not?

    There not. you would need to either redrill the hubs or use adapters. I'm pretty sure that the offsets are such that if you use a late model ferrari wheel, the adapter would fit and get the offset into the right place for the buick. I think the real problem would be the width of the ferrari wheel fitting in the buick wheel well...it might though, or you could have the wheels narrowed.

    Another option is to buy similar wheels that fit properly on the Buick.

    Not sure what available but I believe many OEM Rims are BBS, they may have similar designs, also try the aftermarket guys like Novitec, HRE, etc..

    Best,

    I just read your profile :)

    Given the blue book on the Buick is about $5500, maybe you should save for the insurance in 2010 or start a Ferrari Fund.

    best,

    Why? Just thought it would be a fun Sunday project. Call it what you will, I thought it would look pretty cool.

    Katherine, did you not just flame 4Yacht over that Ferrari Testarossa Jet Car?

    Maybe I am missing something here...

    I want Ferrari rims on my car, but chances are the rims and assembly would cost more than the car :(
