W bodies with the Wrong stock wheels

I just bought a set of nice first gen Grand Prix 5-spokes for $100 like AL pictured a couple comments above, to put on my '95 Oldsmobile convertible. I plan on replacing the black "ABS" centercaps with the red Oldsmobile rocket centercaps from my stock wheels (if they fit), which have winter tires on them and clearcoat problems. Anyway, it'll look funny with the word "Pontiac" on the spoke right next to the Oldsmobile center cap. I wonder how many people will notice or care? But I think the lower offset and wider wheels will look better in the wheel well. I couldn't find any clean Cutlass wheels for cheap. I'll post pictures in a few weeks when I buy tires and the weather warms up so I can take my snow tires off.

 

I did this...The caps do fit.

Here's a close-up pic of the 1st gen GP 5-spokes I put on my 95 vert. I swapped the rocket centercaps over, so now I have Oldsmobile/Pontiac wheels. Both brands are dead, so I figure it's ok. I wasn't sure how to orient the rocket relative to the spoke that has "Pontiac" on it.

I did the same thing to my '92 and then I put them on my Silhouette.

No pics cause I couldn't reach my phone in time(and because it was a cop lol) but I passed a county sheriff in my neighborhood in an unmarked Impala riding on these Park Avenue wheels

Not sure if i posted yet, but im rocking the Monte LS/LTZ wheels on my 93. Ive done this once before and i always did like the look of it. I think it adds that little sporty look to the car :thumbsup:
