N93 Wheel Covers Help

I'm the new owner of a 63 Starfire with what i'n guessing are the N93 wheel covers. How do I take them off and will regular wheelcovers fit on these wheels? Thanks.

Carefully remove the chrome center, then the wheel cover is bolted to the wheel with 3 nuts. Remove all 3 and the covers are off.

Great looking 63!

Regular 14" wheelcovers will fit the special wheels, but why? Car looks good with them.

You have the rarer centers- 64 Ninety Eight/ Super 88. The Starfire/ Jetstar I spinner centers are way more common.

Thanks for the help, does the center "unscrew)? I don't want to mess anything up so trying to be careful. Are the centers in mine incorrect? I agree the wheel covers on it are fine but if I see a set of regular spinner wheel covers for it at a swap meet I will probably pick them up.

Center caps should pry off (just be careful). The ones on your car look correct for '64 model year. The "bolt-on" wheel option was available in '64 and '65; '65 model year used a different center cap with two-bar "spinners".

Not sure I ever saw a set on a '63 Olds; looks great though! As for using more conventional hubcaps, could be a good idea for keeping the ones you have in nice shape (they appear to be in much nicer shape than is typical).
