I looked at this set of 16.5" x 8.25" wheels. They are GM 6 lugs. I guess these wont accept the stock caps? What are the little holes for between the lugs? Are those for clips to hold caps on?? I'd like to run stock caps, but wasn't sure if they would work on these wheels.

Yep,you got it.I believe those clips may be available somewhere.There was talk here about that.The early-style caps are what you want to use,right?

I'd like to use the chrome center caps, the ones with the blue bowties. So, would those work on these wheels if I could find some clips? Thanks special-K.

The 69-ups need the external nubs.The`67-earliers are what you need.There are some cool styles and I guess you could use theclip-type car cap from the six-lug cars,like`52-earlier I think.Ask Stlookin about these wheels,too.
