Theres a OEM set on ebay for $129 (not mine).

The cap in the top left is the odd ball, but easy enough to find another OEM cap and have a nice OEM set for half the price of repops

Well, was $129, now $149 buy it now....I would not hesitate on these.

Cool thanks! You know what wheels I have to run to fit the caps?

The stock steelies w/the 3 bump nubs...very common wheels. Ill see if I can get a pic for you. You can also use the later style steelies w/the 4 bump nubs.

The blue one is my 4 bump rim, they came on early 70's-early 90's chevy 4x4's, blazers, etc...and will clear disk brakes. The black one below is a standard 3 bump drum brake rim. Used for many years and many gm truck/van applications. Both are 15" and the 3 bumps should be fairly easy to find. Try Perro or some of the other CA parts guys (you can do a forum member search or use the classifieds here for 60-66).

The bumps(nubs) that you see around the center section hold the cabs on. Check out the hubcap thread I pulled back up also, lots of good info there.

I've got a set of the 4 bump rims that won't clear the calipers of my disc brakes. Need to run a 1/4" spacer.

Out of curiousity what's the widest tire that guys run on the 15x8 rims?

Can you post a pic of you rims?

[1963c-10]

I've seen guys run all the way up to a 295 tire on a 15 x 8, but not on a truck....maybe some others will help on it.

I'll post a couple pics this evening.
I'm currently running 295s on the rear of my 65 on Blazer rims, but I really want to go with a different look. That's why I've acquired these 4 bump rims.

I love this thread...I do the same thing with guns...buy a box of odd caliber ammo cause it's rare or hard to get and then go about tryin to find a gun to shoot it out of!

Kudos on pickin up yer hubcaps before ya find some wheels! I love this place, we're all lots alike!!!

I have run 295/50 on 8s. But also Blazer had 15x8 running 35x12.5 stock Rallies.

[wjjeeper]

My bad. I just looked and these rims I picked up are 3 bump.

Not sure about these, i was going to buy one and check them out, just havent got around to it yet.

They seem to be 3 bump wheels. It would be interesting to know if standard hubcaps fit on them.
