Question and just what are these from?

I helped a gent out by cleaning out his garage and I came up with these wheels. He thought they were from an old Cutless, but I don't have a clue.

They had the stainless trim around the opening that I took off, so I could media blast them and clean them up. 14x6 is the size and no center caps.

So masses, what have I?

The silver wheel in the lower right of the first picture is a Camaro wheel. The others are 75-up Olds SSII/SSIII wheels. I actually thought the snap-in center wheels were 14x7. The only 14x6 that I'm aware of were the 68-69 SSII rims, but you have the tape measure.

I guess I haven't owned enough G-body cars, then. Perhaps someone who knows more about the G-bodies can confirm that those cars used 14x6 SSIII rims? I DO know that the aluminum wheels on the 79 H/O were 14x6.

Keep them or sell them to someone here. They aren't gold but they aren't doggy do either.

Thank you...the old man was going to toss them in the scrap ($140 a ton down here) and I "offered" to clean up his garage for all the old stuff.

Can't stand waste when someone could use them.

I also have a set of 14'' wheels laying around that I'd like to see someone use. Hopefully someone with a 68-69 cutlass
