77-90 full size wheels
I bought two of these chrome dish style sport wheels for my Custom Cruiser. I believe they were offered on Ninety-Eight and Eighty-Eight models from 80-82, but not sure.
I need two more! Help!
I'd also like a full set of the Delta 88 Wheels, but these don't interchange unless the car had a 403 engine? It's a 5 x 5 BP.
Another try is the cast wheels from the Buick/Olds Wagons from 88-90
Thanks!
Matt

Full Size Wheels?
Has anyone ever run across these before on a car?
I've seen them one time on an 82 Ninety Eight, but haven't ever seen any since...
Need two more of them.
What was this style called?

N82 Custom Chrome Wheel. Available for 5x5 BP cars late 70s. That meant Ninety Eights or 403-equipped Delta 88s. They look especially good on Ninety Eights, and earlier and later cars wear them well too.
These and Super Stock IV Polycasts use the same near unobtainium trim ring.

Thanks! Like I said, I've only seen them on one car, and I know it was from the 80s, and I think the 403 ended in 78 if I'm not mistaken.
Well, I am hoping that they will fit on my 86 Custom Cruiser. I have heard two opinions from friends. Someone told me that wheels from the Custom Cruiser are totally different from the Delta and Ninety-Eight. The only other wagon I've had was a 72 Custom Cruiser, so I'm not sure.
Will they fit or not? Let the experts tell me...

They should fit your Cruiser just fine as wagons had the big BP too. Station wagon wheels are usually reinforced, but unless you intend to do a lot of heavy hauling with it, you should be fine with these.

Added another alternative that I would like, but apparently some of these won't interchange with the 5 x 5 BP on the Custom Cruiser....I added some other photos in the original post in this thread.

What you'll get into with the cast aluminum turbine wheels is that they use no less than four different center caps depending on year and the Olds version is particularly hard to find. Buick started using those in 83 or 84 with a small tower style center cap, then they redesigned that, then the big Olds and Buick versions appeared around 1988.
But they do look nice on big Oldsmobiles.

I am hoping that I can just get a machine shop to make a center for me, or maybe I'll be able to find a set with Rockets in the center!
