Stock 61 Caps.
7 5/8" inner diameter, 15", 16" & 17.5" wheels with clips.
You can get baby moons from an Airstream as well as other aftermarket suppliers.
This is what the back of the caps should look like.

7 5/8" seems like id have to pull the clips in slightly and the cap wouldn't sit very tight in the wheel....id have to try one to be sure

Send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll loan you a hubcap that jonzcustomshop sent to me on trade. If it works you'll know where to look.
These caps snap on pretty tight. I think that's why they get all dented up.
If it doesn't fit, well you can start looking for another solution.
