What Kind of Rim Do I have? Need hubcaps!
 
Guys,
Have a look at this wheel and tell me what you think it is.

I'm looking to put on beauty rings and center caps (Rally style) but they don't have holes for the screwed on rally caps.

I have some beauty rings, but what goes over the lug nuts?

They are 15" and came on my 1975 Gentleman Jim. I was going to buy new ones but my CFO thinks a paint job and some hub caps is the way to go.

Not great pics but I hope you get the idea.

thanks!

Nick


Edit:
Just found this "old style rally chevy" is that what these are?

Yep that's the wheel but they are aftermarket rallys. Same as factory GM except GM never made a car rally wheel with truck bolt pattern. More than likely wheel vintiques. Bought a set back in '93 for my 72 2wd Blazer.

Thanks John, that's what I'm going to do too. Beauty rings and those center caps. Looks very 60s!

Whoa!!
Backup!!
Those caps won't fit on your wheels. Nothing to hold them on. Look in the second pic. See those 3 shiny bumps on the inside. They hold the cap on.

He does too!!

His is made for the bigger cap.
I don't think the police caps fit.
