Just a quick update,
I finally finished my WAI, and I picked up some wheels for my winter tires.
Wheels when I got them, 17x7.5, 20 spoke wheels picked up for 250$

They look pretty good after I cleaned them, now I just need to get some Oldsmobile center caps.

Just use stickers on the center caps.
If you do a "two tone" choose what color you want the Olds logo to be, get a circle that will fit on the center cap in that color. Get another sticker of a different color, have the Olds logo cut out of that, then put on top of the other sticker.
That's what I did and it looks great :D

Not a bad idea at all, I was just going to find some of these http://www.centercaps.net/caps/details.php?stockNumber=543
But I would like to get some like these and find a good way to mount them, they are same size. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Olds-Ciera-Omege-wire-wheel-center-cap-hubcap-1982-1986-/220708305200?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &hash=item33633d7930#ht_500wt_922

Those are the tires that was already on the rims, not the winter tires.
