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!

Re: Wheelsmith OEM style wheels
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.

Re: Wheelsmith OEM style wheels
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.
