Homework question

Gentlemen. When I take a look at 15x 7 SS II wheels how do I tell if the Wheel is set up for snap on hubs versus bolt on. Believe the wheels came off a Cutlass. Rookie question to be sure but it’s part of the learning experience.

Bolt on center cap wheels have a hole on the inner area of each of the “spokes” where the cap bolts go through the wheel.

Snap on center cap wheels do not have the 5 holes, and have a center “snout” with 5 square notches around the inner perimeter where the cap clips insert into the end of the snout.

I'll also take this opportunity to note that the side-by-side photo makes it very easy to see the difference between 14" and 15" SuperStock II/III wheels. No, this has nothing to do with snap in vs bolt in.
