That's the way! Are yours stock with the hubcap clips? 16.5's? I will keep my eyes open for one. I noticed that the shape of the wheel is different on different styles too. One vendor had 4 wheels at Monroe and all 4 were a slightly different shape even though two were 8.25 x 16.5 and two were 9.75 x 16.5. One had hubcap bumps on the outside and the other had them on the inside. I never even looked closely at the 8.25's but they did not have the clips so I was not interested anyway. If you find an exact shape that does not have the clips, just drill the rivets out of some old split rims (they are ususally free) and drill your new wheels to mount the clips. The center section has to be the perfect size for your stock hubcaps though. The search continues...LOL!
