All the later C10 caps attach to outside "nubs" on the wheel surface. Those 12 series have the inside "nubs" that take aftermarket style smoothie caps and other styles, but not the OEM stuff...

Okay, well I guess it's all dependent on what's more important: hub caps or tires that don't go flat all the time
I
should have gone that route. I tried and failed to make GMT 16" 6 hole wheels fit by cutting out the center hole bigger. My neighbor did such a nice job with his plasma torch. Too bad I didn't have him do just one and check it before doing all five
I ended up getting disgusted and buying 4 used 15x8 steel rallies just to get going again since one of the factory alloy wheels had busted and I didn't trust the other three.
The price of the new WV 6 hole 16's per wheel isn't too much more than I spent on
two sets of used wheels, but it would have been about $575 for
five wheels plus shipping - what $200 or $300 to Montana ??? Maybe someday I will even do that if I decide to keep and fix up the old Suburban.
