Question Wheelsmith OEM style wheels

Hi all!

Hoping to see if any members have pulled the trigger on the OEM style wheels from the Wheelsmith? How are the quality? Is their powedercoat service good? Also, anybody using them with 67 or 68 hubcaps? IÂ’d hate to pull the trigger on them and the hubcaps not fit well. Thx!

Looks like Wheelsmith's OEM wheels will work with 69 and up hubcaps as the have the nubs on them.
Don't the 67-68 caps need clips installed on the wheels to make them work?

Re: Wheelsmith OEM style wheels

Thanks for relying! 1/2 ton had the 3 nubs. Heavy duty trucks had clips…I think. It’s been a while since I dug in to that though.

I was hoping someone on here had used them and could verify that the stock 1/2 ton hubcaps fit well. I may get a single or a set of two to verify.

I have a set of the oem wheels with the 3 nubs, 17”. Quality is excellent. The dog dish caps fit perfect and really snug. They will accept any 10 1/8 cap.
