The wheel choice for the Cruiser.
The wheel choice for the Cruiser.
After great advice on this forum, I came up with a set of wheels for the Cruiser. They are Chevy/GMC truck ralley wheels with aftermarket center caps. I had a local truck customizing shop make black centers for the caps, and put chome vinyl Oldsmobile emblems in the centers. I think they sort of have a factory look to them and are much more to my likeing than the wire hubcaps.
Nice looking! I thought of using C**** truck wheels w/'55 spinners on our '92 Custom Cruiser, but the cost of the spinners negated that idea! I note that a lot of the folks that write into CO have multiple Oldsmobile's; is that part of our problem, figuring out just where to put the money today on which car (we have Big Red/'68 Cutlass Convetible & Silver Bullet/'68 Cutlass Flat Top Wagon & the '92 White Custom Cruiser). Ah, the trials and tribulations of being an Olds owner and connoisseur.

It's a good problem to have
I thought
hard about the color to paint the wheels, what I used was Duplicolor wheel paint in Graphite. I felt the slighty darker color set off the chrome on the caps and the stainless on the trim rings.
Thanks to all for the complements.
