70 Olds wheel options

**Alss** · #1 02-26-2016, 11:37 AM

OK...bought myself an oldsmobile..a 70 W 30. Correct me if Im wrong but I think there are three wheel options. 1. dog dish wheels with olds spec center caps. 2. The 5 spoke " olds" wheels with chrome trim around the spokes...and 3. a version of the " SS " wheel similar or the same as chevelle but with different codes. How am I doing??

thanks

This is reminiscent of myself a few short months ago:-)

If you go Dog Dish caps, you should spend the big bucks and buy XT code steel wheels and the 1970-72 dog dish caps are different than 1967-1969 the early ones had Oldsmobile script closer to the middle, yours will have Oldsmobile script near the outside. Fusicks sells repop they are really shiny, I am buying originals one by one, but have only three shiny so far.

The latter 1970 SS11's are 14 X 7 instead of 14 X 6 so the trim rings are large and have a large radius mine would be thin with sharp corner instead of the wide radius. The caps screw in later caps snap in... no good:-(

SS1's I don't know much about, but this website has very good detail and so far it has not been wrong. you have to use the chart to decide what you want to look at them go the NOTE number 6 for example lower in the sheet for the details. Nice site!!

I am an XL if you find Dr Olds T-Shirt I am in, but not grey Mrs. Weaver says grey washes out my eye colour:-(

Ryan, on the ssII's is the center cap like the chevelle?..I happen to have 4 that just came back from chrome and a spare set of rims too(from a chevelle)..and the xt's are also in stock...love them dogs!..may end up with three sets of wheels! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
