I believe the only way you will find any are from someone cutting the centers out of the wheel and putting a new hoop on them. I made a set of 16" with my 6 bolt centers and f250 outer wheel hoops. Not that hard if you can weld and have access to a lathe to true them and weld them on.

You’ll have to add the clips to pretty much anything you find.

Look at 03 and newer Ford E250/E350. They have steel wheels without the bumps on the center ring.

Good idea, I'll take one of my original 3/4 ton hub caps and see if this is doable.

The only original Chevrolet original that I know of are 17.5 and then the super hard to find 19.5 . Both are also tubelsess which is nice. Both came with the hubcap cliips. There are wheel companies that can take the center from a 8 lug split rim with clips and pit a tubeless outer onto that center.
