What do you think of these wheels??

I'm picturing these with new RWL Radial T/A's and Olds Rocket center cap decals...

These are for sale really close by, right bolt pattern for my wagon, and I've liked these since I saw my first SS454 pickup.

I think they look good on wagons and would change the look just enough to make it seem less grandma-ish...

I'm close to nabbing these this weekend....really thinking about it....




On a Caprice wagon:


I've gotta get rid of the white-walls and while I like the stock wheels they kinda look like Ford van wheels... I think those chrome Sports would look cool on my Cruiser!


Thoughts?

I think YES! I think it would look good!

 

SS wheels look good. I would use them

 

I keep seeing Ford Vans and thinking they have my Olds wheels on them....


I do not want my Olds to be associated with Ford Vans...

What size are those wheels? Are they a 16 inch? You have a LOT of good tire options when you get into a 16 inch wheel, and 60 or 65 series tires. Unfortunately, the choices of 15 inch, 70 and 75 series tires is getting very limited. Least wise in tires I would consider good handling tires. The BFGoodrich Radial T/A is an alright tire. That is, in terms of performance, about what I consider my base line. Those are what we run on Ma's 4 cylinder Volvo. On the Thunderbird, right now, I'm running T rated Sumitomo tires, and they are nowhere near what they were cracked up to be. Next time, I will be upgrading to 16s, and going with a 225/60R16 Pirelli P6 H rated tire, which I will run at max pressure.

 

I don't like those, Mike, but that's just me....
I'd look at them and think "truck wheels on a car....."
- But most everybody else wouldn't know the difference.
As for tires, you need raised white letters on the Olds.....

Not a lot of true Oldsmobile alloy wheels in the big bolt pattern to chose from...

 

I'd have to agree that they look like truck wheels, especially with the GM centers.

 

x3 They look like truck wheels to me too.
But what do I know?
I'm just an old whitewall grandpa who's not really up on the groovy wheel styles that the young kids are into these days.

I've thought since I got mine that '71-'72 Olds Delta 88 SSIV 15" 5x5 polycast wheels with RWL tires would look really cool on a Custom Cruiser if they'll work.
They'd look even better with whitewalls.

 

Hmmmm......only 1 available?

Now I want those wheels.
I Photochopped a set on, all I can afford right now.

 

Wow...mean WOW. Need to find those, but they are RARE!

 

Are there Olds center caps that would fit 15x7 Buick Rallys?

 

gotta say..i agree

those are kinda funky....me likey

 

They may look like truck wheels, but the look a lot better than the stock wheels. And i do mean a lot better!
