    If you didn't order Rally wheels or dog wheels? Was there anything available or was a steel wheel with full hub caps even an option? Or were you relegated to 14 inch wheels? Any pictures?

    These were the 14" wheel covers on my 72 Skylark Custom. I think they were 70-72.

    There were the Deluxe wheel covers (in Larry's picture), wire wheel covers and a dealer available mag style wheel cover. Skylarks were only available in 14".

    I have the same that came on the Maggot 15 inch ones would be really nice as they would also hide the long studs too..Guess I forgot to add for 15 inch wheels...

    The Volcano wheel cover was not available in a 15", but the wire covers and the mag style were.

    It depends. The 14"s show up on eBay once in a blue moon, I've only seen 1 set of 15"s (the ones on my wagon). However the Chevy ones are all over the place, usually pretty cheap, and you can put a Buick emblem in the center.
