How did you measure them?

Re: Slot wheel help

Measure the diameter of the inside of the wheel hub, then go on ebay and find the slide in center caps that will work

Re: Slot wheel help

Yea I just didn't know what would have be original on them. John I may do that, ill try measuring first and check to see what I can find. I wasnt sure what was originally on them. But yes they came off of a 1976 chevy c10 so they are 5x5.

Nice!
You got the best variation w/ the dead on 5 on 5, not those "Oblong Fittall" pattern wheels.
But them babies are sure hard to balance!;)

When I was a kid the local tire shop had a sign up in the showroom:
"Aluminum Wheels May Be Hard To Balance & May Vibrate But They NEVER Rust!":lol:
