Can anyone identify this for me?

Can anyone please identify the year/model/trim level Olds which wore this mystery wheel cover for me? It's a 17-incher that fits on my '89 Custom Cruiser--V8 RWD--though I know it's NOT a Custom Cruiser cover from any year:



Thanks in advance,

Drew

Are they worth anything? I'm finding 17-inch wheel covers hard to find, and would hate to have something happen to these over the winter as they can't be replaced. If they're NOT expensive I'll just ride it out. If they ARE, I'll get some Walmart caps or something... Thanks!

Probably because they don't exist. You have 15" wheel covers. The diameter designation is of the wheel that they fit, not the O.D. of the wheel cover. Note that wheel diameter designates the diameter of the hole in the tire, not the full outer diameter of the wheel itself. If you want to measure a wheel, you need to measure the diameter of the flat section below the rim where the bead of the tire actually sits.

You, sir, are correct. "15x7" somehow became "17". So, how about any 15-inchers?...
