Doing some maintenance today and noticed I have one loose and one missing wheel cap.
Can some one help Identify it so I can find a replacement?
Have been on the car since I bought her in the 90s, not sure if was OEM when delivered.
Thanks

72 oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible, They are attached with 3/8 body bolts from the backside of the rim, not snap ins.

Those are 68-74 bolt-in centers. Originals and repros are widely available.

Thanks Joe,
Did not know if there were variations, ie SSI and SSII.

All 68-74 SSII/III wheels use the same center. The SSI is the Magnum 500 style wheel and is totally different.

Any idea how many bolts are in the remaining caps? Seems that 5 bolts are way more than sufficient to hold the caps on. I had three bolts in each of mine (when I had the 14" wheels) and they stayed on for 20+ years of very aggressive driving.

How perfect of a replacement do you need relative to the three survivors on your car? I just pulled out a pair earlier today that are very decent with a couple pits here and there. If interested, I can post a couple pics. I have 2-3 of the original screws too, but they need to be cleaned up.

Mike, I think you are just spinning the tires too fast with that new stroker.

Mike, your cap went out via USPS Priority yesterday.

Are the SSII center caps black / charcoal on the side of the cap. The part that is indented. Mine are worn awy & I can't tell if they are supposed to be chrome as well or a darker grey color. They look like they were the latter. Thanks for any help.

mikejana

Chrome if I understand your question correctly. Certainly someone smarter will chime in.....

On the SSII 68-74 bolt-ons, they were painted silver in those indented spots.
Not 100% sure on the snap-on centers but I don't think they got the paint. I'll have to look at my OEM snap ons when I get home.
The gray is lighter than Argent I believe. I used rattle can simulated chrome when I restored my OEMs
Ill dig them out and post some pics of both.

These are bolt on caps. It does look like it was some shade of silver or grey. It's too worn off to tell though. Thank You
