Those caps should bolt on. The wheels are 14 X 7.

X2 But you can also put on SS111 wheels and clip on center caps if you want. The wheels are available in the same size.

But 14 X 7 snap on cap rims are EXTREEMELY rare. I have never seen a set in person, but a member on one of the sites I'm on has some and posted proof of their existence.

Most are just 14 X 6.

I have seen a few sets on ebay in the last few months 14 x 7 snap-ons not sure what year they were from but they are out there - at least occasionally.

???? A huge number of Cutlass models were produced with Snap on cap rims built in the late 70's and 80's. Every time I go to the wrecker there's at least a couple of cars with them. 14 X 7 and 15 X 7 were the most popular sizes built. They are not extremely rare. The rims with the bolt on caps had fewer years production run, so if anything they would be more rare than the snap on caps.

My 72 Cutlass is currently sporting a set of 14x7 SS111s with snap on caps. Heres a close up of the wheel:

And if you want a set of them new, just visit this site: http://www.wheelmasterclassics.com/ and clik wheel vintiques. The ones shown are in chrome reveal. When I talked to their rep at an auto show, he said they can be powder coated in any color you want instead of chromed. This company offers a whole range of sizes for any specialty wheel you want to install while keeping the factory look.
