15 inch "dog dish" style Oldsmobile hub caps

So I think I have decided that this is the way I want to go for now. I have better things to spend my money on fixing the Vista Cruiser than Super Stock wheels that will fit. If you have some for a reasonable price give me a holler and let's see if we can come to an agreement.

Yes I think you are correct, haven't measured yet but I think about 10 1/2 inches. Does that sound right?

That sounds correct to me.

In 1965 the O.D. of the cap was 10-5/8 inches. It fit 14" & 15" wheels. My 14" wheels had 3 "nubs" to hold them; the 15" had 4 nubs.
Unfortunately, I have no "extras" to sell.

Thanks for the clarification on that. I was thinking of doing this to get a look that we did as kids when we couldn't afford "mag" wheels or the upgrade stock rims like SSI's but nowadays almost anything cost more and it seems even the small hub caps are hard to find and approach the same price as wheels especially if in really good condition.

So I guess I will have to make a decision sooner rather than later, and dog dish hubcaps won't fit. I lost a wheel cover today and this wheel was behind it.

I have seen these before I think on pickup trucks. Not even sure if it is steel or not. It looks like it was white then black. I don't know...

Those wheel covers are very clean and look like a good buy but they cover the whole wheel, I was thinking about using smaller dog dish style but now that I have wheels that won't accept them anyway...

Not sure what I will do. Just taking off the other three for now.
