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.

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

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.

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"
