5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options

[72Cheyenne454]

Does anyone know if a standard 1/2t dog dish cap (10 1/8") will fit over the formed center of the series 12/13 Wheel Vintiques wheel? If the cap is large enough to fit over the formed area, I could add clips and install dog dish caps on a set of these wheels. I'm looking for the oe look of steelies and caps, but want a larger diameter wheel... 16" or 17". So far this is the only wheel I've found that appears to be an option, as the series 62 wheel only comes in 4.5/4.75 bolt pattern in the larger diameter.

Thanks,
Miles

These require a special center cap.
They also do not have the 4 small windows in the wheels like the stock steel wheels.
But these are available in 15"-17" sizes.

They are available in:
Bare steel.
Steel center with chrome lip.
All chrome.

I have this exact same question. I want a 16 or 17 and vintiques have them, but I want to use my original c10 caps for a 70.

I have a 1971 C20 Burb with the original 16.5 8 hole rims and the chrome hubcaps. I've seen threads that show folks replacing the 16.5 rims with 16 x 8 inch rims because tire choices are better. I though I read somewhere that you could use rims from newer vehicles to get the 16's. Does anyone know which vehicle I should look for to get a set of the 16 x 8 8 hole rims that my chrome hubcaps will fit.
