Not mine but thought some were looking for these. I see he says these are
the smaller bolt pattern as well. Seems cheap enough for these ugly things.

That is a very good price for SS-IV wheels. I thought they only came in the large bolt pattern. Learn something new everyday.

 

I thought they did too Anthony. It seems I saw somewhere a pic with them on a Cutlass. These may be the rare ones for those cars. Still fugly to my eyes though.

 

Good memory! I posted this a couple of years ago.

The photo shows the aftermarket Motor Wheel Exiter wheel, which is similar, but different from the Oldsmobile SS-IV wheel.

 

^^^THIS! SS-IV wheels were only made in the 5x5" bolt circle. The aftermarket Exiter wheels were made in the 5x4.75" pattern. The wheels in the ad are SS-IV wheels. The seller is just wrong about the bolt pattern.

I remain amazed by the number of people who don't understand the concept of bolt CIRCLE. They just measure center-to-center between two non-adjacent lug holes and think that is the correct measurement on a five lug pattern.

 

I just put a set of these on my 75 Delta 88 Convertible and like how they look (personal preference). They need paint to make them look a lot better. Any idea what color to use to get this done?? Thanks Matt

 

Someone had mentioned to check a Pontiac or Firebird site as they have steps to restore the honeycomb wheels, which supposedly are the same material and paint as the SS-IV wheels.

 

That is correct. Both the SS-IV and the Honeycomb wheels are polycast - the steel wheel has a molded polyurethane outer face. Painting the polyurethane requires the same sort of careful prep and special materials as does painting a urethane front bumper.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll leave this project to my auto body buddy.
