I was wondering if anyone knew how many different types of factory wire wheels there have been through the years and what year/models they came on. I know about "84s" (Cragars), the Daytons that you could get for the seville in the late 90s, and Kesley wheels from the 50s. What else is there?

That's a great question. My 88 Fleetwood Brougham has them. My grandfather owned the car before me and said the wire wheels was an expensive option. I've never seen another Cadillac around this area with a true set. A friend of mine who designes rims tells me that they can go up to 2400. Here is a pic of mine.
