Yes.... But they aren't offered in a 16" diameter which apparently is what he wanted. 15" or 17" diameters are the only choices for the WV 62 Series. The only 16" 62 Series offered from WV is the 8-lug version.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Will stock hub caps work?

Been looking at Wheelsmith caps, the '49 chev one looks alright;

http://thewheelsmith.net/wheel-acces...ie-accessories

They are marketed for smoothie wheels but have to find out if they'll fit 16" wheel vintiques.
FYI - steer clear of 16" wheels as there doesn't seem to be much available in terms of tires, caps, etc. I'm sure alot of you likely know that anyway. My own mistake, should have done more research and possible just went with 15" as there seems to be much more available.

Yes, you are correct. That's why I qualified my comment with the buzz word "like" or similar to the WV 62 series. He needs a wheel with that same nub location and nub size if he wants to use the stock '64 cap regardless of wheel diameter or manufacturer.

Gotcha. One needs a wheel w/the 'nubs' in the correct position or that allow clips to be added in the correct location.
