just purchased a boat and the trailer has these hubcaps on them. Don't want to damage them though with removal. I'm reading that some of these having a center locking bolt behind the centercaps. not sure if this is the same type though as the center doesn't seem to be removeable?

 

14"? They look like the wire wheel covers for a '68 or '69 A-body car in which case they simply come off with a tire iron. Maybe not simply, but that's the way the '68-'69 wire wheel cover comes off. Your wheel covers look pretty nice. I have them on my '68. They did come off with a tire iron but I did my best to be real careful so they wouldn't pop off and go bouncing on the pavement!

I thought I had those on a '68 Delta Custom I had once - as stated a tire iron was all I needed.

thanks everyone, i ended up using a big flathead and carefully pryed them slowly and they came off no problem. that picture i posted was from a reference site. Mine aren't quite that pristine, the center hub glass have some minor cracks. Thanks for everyone's help I can finally get the tires replaced. These came on a tandem trailer with a '75 Hawaiian Jet Boat so I don't have any particular attachment to them if someone wants them. I can provide pictures if there is any interest, just pm me.

 

Might that jet boat have an Olds 455?

 

good guess but its got a Ford 460. They did ship a lot of these boats with the Olds though.
