Olds center caps... What will they fit?

Take away 66-72 Cutlass and I know nothing about Olds.

I found the center caps when I was going through all of the 70-72 Cutlass parts that I have collected over the last 25 years. I have no clue what they came off of, or how I got them. I also just found 13 wheel bezels in the same box of stuff... I must have bought it at an auction or swap to get other parts out of the box and ended up with extra stuff.

Thanks for any help!
Roger

Crazy'boutOlds offered a set of Delta center caps that looks something like those. Check out the photos on this thread and see what you think. John

Those are the caps used on the Delta 88s on the SSII (I believe) wheels. I have a set that are like that, that are snap on type. I don't think they made them in the bolt on style.

The center of the wheels project out further and only the clip ons will fit think they are for ss III wheels. Have a set of 15x7 rims on the back of my 72 cutlass that have these. Bought off ebay from some one on the forum like the looks of them with the 225 70 15 tires. As soon as i get new springs for my front end will be putting 15'' tires all around.

As noted, these are the "starfish" centers that fit all SSII/III wheels with the snap-in centers. That's 1975-1988. These particular centers were used on 1977-1980 Delta 88s, with the first use being the 1977 Indy Pace Car.

The angular style bezels are the later type, but I am not sure what year they started using them. 78-9 maybe?

They look pretty classy on a Delta.
