John- I'm not certain. Here is a write-up on them:
They were a factory option in 1964-65 and require a special wheel. Three styles depending on car series and year. 1964- all exc Starfire and Jetstar I used a dished center w/ 3-point Rocket, no spinner. 1964 Starfire & J-I used a two-bar spinner w/ 3-point Rocket. 1965 all cars used a two-bar spinner w/ vertical Rocket. The bolt-on caps themselves were identical for all series both years. The center cap is the difference.
They were discontinued for two reasons. 1) they were very heavy and difficult to balance and 2) people unfamiliar with how they were attached would damage them doing tire work.
If you can find the special wheels, you can put the bolt-ons on any big Olds thru 1970 that uses 14" wheels.
EDIT: I think those are the ones you're referring to.
Here's a good view of the backsides showing how the rim/lugs would need to interact with the cover.
I'll post the pic later unless someone else does before eBay takes this down. Good view. At work cant upload anything nor can I see pictures here. Big Bro...gah.
When Real hubcaps were made...and real cars too! Note the weights...COOL STUFF

Yes Joe, those are the ones. A set of covers just popped up on the local Craigslist and he called them N94, but since one needs the wheels to go with them it doesn't sound like I should mess with them. Cool looking though!
