16" 6 lug Steel Wheel Hubcaps?
I bought 5 16" steel wheels for my 1966 C10 (pics below) hoping to put them on with the period correct white panted hubcaps. After doing some reading I fear those hubcaps won't fit these wheels. Does anyone know what hubcaps where (if any) available for this size wheel between 60-66? Pre 1960? To make things more complicated 3 of the wheels have 3 clips and the other 2 have 6 clips.
Thanks. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] |

Those look like 40's and 50's truck rims and they take a moon style hubcap cover the corect style rim you need have 3 nubs and the wheel cover just slips over the nubs I think

Re: 16" 6 lug Steel Wheel Hubcaps?
The 6 clip are older than the 3 clip and you'll notice a slight difference in the center section how their formed. These are the same as the wheels on my truck except I widened mine to 9.5". As for the caps there was a member on here who had four chrome 64-66 style that he bought for his truck and did not use.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=391238 As you can see in the picture below there's an extra section on the back of the cap for the 16" wheel. The cap beside it is for the 3/4 or 1 ton wheels. They are thicker and the inner diameter is different than the 1/2 ton 16"
