    Nice looking Olds, I have never seen that style Olds wheel before, but the Brochure says they were optional, I actually like them over the fake wire hub caps normally seen on these models.

    Those were factory wheels, but rarely seen. Like it.

    you are right, I looked, those are optional rims, but i don't ever remember seeing them when these were new, or car shows since. I like them.

    I wonder if their scarceness makes them highly desirable.

    Only to an Olds nut. When I had my '70 Delta, in the dark days before e-commerce, I vainly attempted to find a set. They were as rare 25 years ago as now.
