New guy with wheel questions.

Hi all, I got some Olds wheels at an auction but am not sure what they are. They are 15x6, 3 3/4 backspace, 5 on 5 bolt pattern. Hopefully pics will show up. Thanks for any info.

To my knowledge, and I was around at the time, Olds never had any wheels like that in the 1950's. I would place them in the 60's or 70's?

The hubcap emblem is definitely early 60's not 50's but I've never seen a all chrome wheel from the factory, probably aftermarket and they should be 14 inch from 57 on if orignal..... Tedd

Pretty effective ad to get you to buy the reclining seat option.

Sorry Tedd, but the rocket on a rectangular background is late 70s to mid 80s.

Tru-blu, thanks for the welcome, no Olds for me at the moment. I can't believe I forgot to list the date codes, they are Dec.4,6. Only thing is I don't know if it is 66,76 or 86.
Tedd, They are not all chrome, the outer couple inch's is silver, I wonder if they are supposed to have beauty rings?
1970CS, Pic 5-D is it. Still don't know what they came on though.

You did not catch the short sentence below the picture! But here is one with the wheels in question, bad angle!

They are not very common wheels.

Pat, you are correct, I did miss that.
66400,they must be rare, I have been looking at hundreds of cars and have not seen any of them. I think I know why, not the best looking wheels. LOL Thanks for the help guys.
