Those are 1970-75 hubcaps. The 67-69 have the "Oldsmobiles" around the outside of the inner ring.

A+ in my book. That's what's going on my car (well the 67-69 caps) along with white wheels, as my car is also white. Going with redlines as appropriate for '68, however.

If you're looking for 1966 dog dish caps, Fusick has what they look like on p. 25 of their catalog. You can download it here. www.fusick.com

I'm going back & forth on the wheel color....I think white would look good if I keep the car white (i'm going blackwall on the tires - low-key 4-door)

Well, NOS or not, if they look like they're new, that's a smokin' deal.

I'm always a fan of keeping the wheels body color. Went through a bit of discussion when I was about to paint mine, as I wasn't sure if Olds actually painted them white (they did). So, I had mine powder coated for extra protection. Just brought a sample of the PPG paint I was using on the car to the powder coater and he matched it up.
