24×9.0 Forged Two-Piece Wheels for 2004 Buick LeSabre (8th Gen GM H-Body / GMX220) – Gold Electroplated Turbine-Spoke Center with Polished Barrel 5×115

Engineering Notes

XINGTU’s engineers want to highlight three details that define this build.

Forged Two-Piece Construction & Turbine-Spoke Design

The Buick LeSabre 2 piece forged wheels feature a distinctive turbine-style center, with numerous slender spokes extending radially from the central hub toward the outer rim. The closely spaced spokes form a continuous circular pattern, while the narrow openings between them add definition to the expansive 24-inch wheel face.

Unlike a forged monoblock wheel, this design uses a separate forged aluminum center and barrel joined through structural assembly hardware. The construction allows the intricate turbine center and the outer barrel to be machined and finished independently before final assembly.

Exposed perimeter fasteners follow the outer edge of the spoke pattern, adding a visible mechanical detail to the wheel's radial design. Each finished wheel weighs 19.9 kg and carries a stated load rating of 800 kg.

Gold Electroplated Center & Polished Silver Barrel

The wheel combines reflective gold electroplating on the turbine-style center with a polished silver finish on the barrel and outer lip. The two treatments create a clear material contrast, allowing the elaborate spoke pattern to stand out against the brighter aluminum rim.

Gold electroplating gives the narrow spokes a metallic reflection that differs from conventional gold paint. The detailed radial layout includes closely spaced channels, curved spoke edges and recessed surfaces, all of which require careful preparation to maintain an even plated appearance.

The barrel and outer lip receive a separate polishing process, producing a bright silver surface around the gold center. The finished assembly preserves the distinction between the two treatments, with the exposed perimeter hardware providing an additional visual detail.

The separate machining, electroplating, polishing and assembly operations form part of the recorded 45-day production schedule.

Wheel Dimensions for the 2004 Buick LeSabre

Produced for a 2004 Buick LeSabre (8th Generation GM H-Body), the wheel measures 24×9.0 with an ET35 offset, 5×115 bolt pattern and 70.3 mm center bore.

The 24-inch diameter and full-face turbine design create the wheel's oversized proportions, while the ET35 offset establishes the mounting position of the nine-inch-wide barrel. The forged two-piece construction retains the separate center and barrel arrangement within this configuration.

These dimensions represent the completed production specifications rather than a standard replacement size for every LeSabre. Actual compatibility depends on the vehicle's hub dimensions, brake and suspension clearance, steering movement and tire selection. The lug-seat type is not recorded in the supplied specifications and requires confirmation before installation.

From Design to Delivery

• CMM dimensional inspection of PCD, center bore and offset
• Center-to-barrel assembly and perimeter hardware inspected
• Radial and lateral runout inspected after final assembly
• Airtightness checked before tire installation
• Wheel weight verified at 19.9 kg
• Dynamic balancing completed for every wheel
• Gold electroplating and polished barrel inspected under controlled lighting

Result

The completed 24-inch wheel features a densely arranged gold turbine center that extends almost to the outer rim, giving the Buick LeSabre a distinctive full-face appearance. The closely spaced radial spokes create a continuous circular pattern, with the polished silver barrel providing a brighter contrast around the perimeter.

The finished two-piece assembly retains its exposed hardware and defined center-to-barrel transition. Gold electroplating brings out the intricate spoke geometry, while the polished outer surfaces frame the design without competing with the turbine pattern.

Oversized Wheel Specifications

The completed wheel measures 24×9.0 with an ET35 offset, 5×115 bolt pattern and 70.3 mm center bore. These production dimensions describe the featured 2004 Buick LeSabre project. The 24-inch diameter and nine-inch barrel width form a customized configuration rather than a standard replacement size.

Forged Two-Piece Assembly

The turbine-spoke center and outer barrel form separate components joined by structural hardware. Independent machining and finishing allow the gold electroplated center to retain its intricate radial details, while the polished barrel provides a contrasting silver surface. The finished wheel weighs 19.9 kg and has a stated load rating of 800 kg.

Mounting & Vehicle Clearance

The oversized wheel dimensions require attention to brake clearance, suspension components, inner-barrel space, fender position and steering movement. The selected tire size must also suit the vehicle's available clearance and intended rolling diameter. The lug-seat type remains unconfirmed in the production record and must be checked against the mounting hardware before installation.

1. Are These 24-Inch Forged Wheels Compatible with Every Buick LeSabre?

The featured wheels were produced for a 2004 Buick LeSabre project. Their 24×9.0 size and ET35 offset represent a customized configuration rather than a universal replacement. Hub dimensions, brake clearance, suspension space, steering clearance and tire fitment require verification for the intended vehicle.

2. How Are the Forged Two-Piece Wheels Constructed?

The wheel consists of a forged aluminum turbine-spoke center and a separate barrel joined by structural assembly hardware. The two components undergo individual machining and finishing before assembly. The completed wheel weighs 19.9 kg and carries a stated load rating of 800 kg.

3. Is the Gold Finish Electroplated or Painted?

The turbine-style center receives gold electroplating rather than conventional gold-colored paint. The barrel and outer lip undergo a separate polishing process to achieve their reflective silver appearance.

4. What Mounting Dimensions Does This Wheel Use?

The wheel measures 24×9.0 with an ET35 offset, 5×115 PCD and 70.3 mm center bore. These specifications describe the completed Buick LeSabre project. The lug-seat type is not stated in the production record and must be confirmed before selecting installation hardware.

5. What Inspections Are Required for the Two-Piece Assembly?

The production process includes center-to-barrel assembly inspection, perimeter hardware checks, radial and lateral runout inspection, airtightness testing and dynamic balancing. The gold electroplated center and polished barrel also undergo visual finish inspection.

6. Can the Wheel Dimensions or Finishes Be Customized?

Wheel dimensions, offsets, mounting specifications and surface finishes can be discussed for individual vehicle requirements. The turbine-spoke design can be paired with different finish combinations, including electroplated centers and polished aluminum components.

7. How Long Does Production Take?

The recorded production schedule is 45 days, including center machining, gold electroplating, barrel polishing, two-piece assembly, airtightness inspection and dynamic balancing. Shipping transit and additional design revisions are separate from this production schedule.
