What wheels on the 72 442?

They certainly arent the SSII or SSIII. They are body colored with chrome trim around the holes and a deep chrome beauty ring along with a center cap with the red olds logo. I prefer to have the originals all re-chromed. They arent terrible but it would be a nice touch.

Take a picture of a wheel and post it. Are you sure you don't have the SS-III (N67) which the factory painted the same as the body color?

I think so....painted SSIII. What Im looking for is either a good chrome re-plater to do the little trim rings that go into the holes along with the center posts and lug nuts. Failing that, guess I'll have to find repros which cost more and are worth less.

these are stainless, not chromed so if they aren't real dented up you can either polish them yourself, or bring them to someone. The repos look good. You can find dozens of those for a buck a peice just need to find good ones.
