The inner nubs are Ford wheels.The clip-type are`68-earlier,and the outer nubs in that listing are correct for`69-up GM.
Just because these wheels aren`t blingy hoops doesn`t make them cheap.For a nice set figure sandblasting,powdercoating,and a set of cherry hubcaps=not cheap,just more classy.When those blingy hoops are dull,damaged,or just played out these steelies are just breaking in.You can blast and paint them forever.
Im going to have to disagree with you about the ford ones being inner nubs, maybe some of them were but I have 2 or 3 of the outer nub ones with ford stamped on them and my others are gm.
