stock replacement wheels, hubcaps that fit?

I'm going to need to pickup some oem looking wheels for my 66 c10 (link of what i was thinking below). I searched but didn't see any specifics, sorry if this was covered.

I'm thinking of running 15x7s (thats what seems to be on it now)..does anyone know the closest to correct backspacing?

I'm looking at something like the hubcap below, has anyone tried them on newer wheels?

So, i guess, what new wheels have you guys used that are 15x7 and take the repop or oem center caps?

I believe you need 15x7 6 lug from early 70s 1/2 ton.

I don't think the wheels from Summit have nubs for OE style hubcaps.

I was just looking at that, i hate to yank mine and have them blasted and re-finished, because i wouldn't be able to move the truck at all to work. Maybe i can sneak them off this week, and assemble my bed while the truck is on stands.

Re: stock replacement wheels, hubcaps that fit?

After digging around, i'll just take mine off, have the tires dismounted, and blasted. Then i can primer and paint them and be sure the offset, center hole, hub caps, etc fit right. They are in great shape, i just thought, if i could sell them for $100, that's like half the cost of a new set and i could swap them quicker. But, it seems there are no new steelies that accept the factory hubcap.

Re: stock replacement wheels, hubcaps that fit?

The 15x8 6 lug "military" wheels use the same center that the '66 C10 used, but they are 8" wide. The back spacing is 3 7/8". The end result is a wheel that appears stock, will take the OEM hub cap, and will clear disc brakes. They are hard to find however. They came on 70's & 80's 4WD Blazers for military usage. Search this forum for examples.
