OK, so I got a set of caps that look just like these. As you can see, they fit on rally wheels, but I have no clue what they go to. Me being an Olds guy, you would think I could figure it out, but I keep coming up empty handed. They are on chrome wheels in the pic, but I've also seen them on older SSIII's. I want to say they either went on Fullsize cars like the 88/98 or possibly on 80's Oldsmobiles?

They look like the Olds Delta 88 emblem if I had to make a guess.

That's really what I'm leaning towards, but I've never seen them on any vehicle. I always find them by themselves.

Thanks Limey! After you told me, I found a couple of Delta 88 pics with those caps. I guess I wasn't too far off on guessing. I was thinking late 60's - mid 70's. They do give the wheels a different look though.

I have about a dozen center caps shaped like a star, sort of. They screw on and I have no idea what they fit. I inheirted them from my dad's twin brother when he passed. They are from the 60s in like new condition. Probably for a wheel that has been out of production for 40 years. JB

I tried last night to post a pic here, but was not sucessful. When you get to my age you have a hard time just figuring out how to open a can of Old Milwalkee Non Alcoholic brew. JB

I've never seen these before & judging by the description, the seller doesn't know exactly what they go to either. Laguna COPO????

I'm really trying to imagine a wheel that they would look good on, but can't think of anything at the moment. Barf

jb the are more then likely for th slotted alminum rims E/T's ect and might still fit the ansin slots and older mag wheels if in good shape and not cracked and broke might make a pretty penny usually over torqued the screws and they broke or screws seized pu and people broke them off
