I just bought, online, four new wheels for my 1978 Olds Delta 88 for one hundred bucks cheaper than the cheapest set of used ones I could find, and hen's teeth are easier to find than wheels for full size Olds from '77-'87 unless you have a 403 which for some reason used the more common 5x5 bolt pattern but still has the odd 2.77 hub center.
Fortunately I found hubcentric rings to take up the slop.

Shipping, whether 1,500 or 500 miles was well over 100 dollars for the used wheels, new ones ship free.
Now they are tech. stock car wheels D.O.T. approved - for off highway -- but if they are tough enough for track use they will be tough enough for my little old lady from Pasadena driving style.
It is winter, I have best Michelin snow tires available but they wear fast enough, so no hot rodding. Thumbs up
