I'm looking to buy a new (or used) set of wheels in the near future. I'm under the assumption that the bolt pattern on my 67 Delta is 5X5... but I'm not 100% sure. Can anyone confirm for me? TIA

Btw, I'm looking at these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380400575756...ht_5446wt_1185

Or maybe these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160700676170...8#ht_483wt_973

Opinions???

 

You are correct - you need 5 lugs on 5" diameter circle.

 

I think I like the ones in your picture better than either of the ebay listings.

Yeah, their not bad... but a little too "pimp" for me. I'm looking for something a little classier... and more befitting her age.

 

Mak: I like your chrome wheels better than the Vette rims. For my '67 Custom, I finally went with 15" 15x7 (5x5) chebby pickup rims, then installed Olds wire wheel covers from a '75 Olds.

The first pic is what the car came with.

I then added wire wheel covers.

Then I replaced the 14" rims.

Finally I added 15" wire wheel covers from a '75 Olds.

I would still rather have my 14" wheels with nice 14" radials but as we all know, they don't make them any more. This is the next best thing for me. Also, these 15 wheels handle better than 14" wheels.
I have also read somewhere on this forum, that it might be possible to use 15 cheeby wire wheel covers and insert Olds centers, to get a look that is more true to the original.

I also have a set of 4 15x8 chebby truck rims. I was thinking of putting these on with the '75 Olds wire wheel covers.

My all-time favorite rims are the Classic Cragar SSI's. I still think that these rims would look great on my car!

These Oldsmobile SSI's are also my preferred wheels but alas, they are the incorrect bolt pattern.

I don't hate my wheels (Eagle Alloy 212's)... and I get a lot of compliments on them... but one of them (right/rear) is damaged (bent)... and at $260 each, I'd rather spend a little more and go with a set of something a little less flashy. Now, if I could find a decent price on a single replacement wheel, I'd replace the one wheel and stay with what I have... especially since they're 17" and have brand new tires (if I replace the wheels I'll end up going to 15"... hence the added cost of a set of T/A's)

I like the wire covers & T/A's a lot... Classic, understated look. I'd be willing to go that route.

I love Cragars too, but more of a muscle car wheel... a little too much for my car.


If I could have ANY wheel... these would definitely be the ones!!!

What is the offset on the factory wheels?
