Your centerbore is how much in diameter.
6 wheel clips on our wheels generally 3.

I will measure the centerbore tomorrow.
I thought the 6 clips was interesting as well.

What is interesting is that the manufactures, either Kelsey Hayes, Goodyear or Firestone, used the factory correct 17.5" centers and just rivited on a generic 16'5" wide base drop center rim. In other words, the part the hubcap goes on is a factory piece and has correct offset. Here is a '60 Chevy with them, but, must have been put on at a later date.

Thanks for the info. The centers do look factory. The 60 looks cool with them.
