SSIIs always look good in my opinion. On the Deltas they used the larger center caps, they look pretty elegant. Welcome to CO.

Cragar Super Sports will make anything look good.

X2, assuming your Delta has the 5 x 4.75" bolt circle. The 5 x 5" bolt circle was optional on those cars when fitted with the HD brakes (police/taxi package). SS III wheels won't fit the larger pattern.

My vote is for 15" SSIII's.

Color or Chome they look good. But I am slightly biased.

I like the SSIII as well, but like fdwheelman said, I might be biased.

The more I keep thinking about it... The more I think that if you are working with a 2Dr, anything "Muscle Car Era" might work, but it's Borderline on that "homie" look.

4Dr... Anything but stock is gonna weigh against you. After all, normally Deltas aren't considered Muscle Car material, no matter how often, how hard, or how quick it takes us to whoop up on those smaller car guys!

I've had Cragar SS's sitting on the lugs, rims were going to be for free, put the original wheels back on though. They really made the car look "Joe Dirtesque"

Bottom line is, it's your car, it's your own taste...

I had never seen those Jegs wheels before. They look pretty good. They are priced decently too.

Don't forget the factory aluminum wheels offered on the Olds until '91? Same style as the Buick wheel...15 X 5... hard to find the Olds caps for that wheel..
