1973 Delta wheels
Hello,
I have a 1973 Delta 88 with standard 15" steel wheels, unfortunately
the car had no spare when purchased. I'm in Australia & old style rims are
"thin on the ground". These wheels seem to be different from Pontiac rims,
just tried one & the centre Axle hole is too small. Are the rims the same
as Cadillac or Chev? Also, the stud holes look a bit flogged out on my rims,
the nuts mustn't have been tight or something, might be better off getting
mags if I can find ones to suit,
any help appreciated

Here are the wheels I have on my 71 98:

As you found out, when you buy a spare wheel for your 73 Delta 88 the thing you have to be careful about is the center bore diameter. I wanted to run Cragar Soft 8s on my 71 98 but when I called Cragar for help with fitment issues they were rude and didn't give me dimensions on the center bore diameter or the depth of the spinner. So, I bought the Eagle Alloys.
FWIW, I believe any 1991-1996 Chevy B/C body (ie. Chevy Impala SS, Chevy Caprice, Olds CC, Buick Roadmaster etc.) wheel will fit on our cars without any problems. Hopefully someone else can confirm this.
