Thanks Robert!

dug up some info for reference from a website..

We can't hide our passion for stock-looking musclecars from the 60's & 70's. Nothing beats that factory-fresh look like adding a set of steel wheels with dog-dish caps!

Produced back in "the days" by Kelsey-Hayes/Motor Wheel, the wheels we sell are the Real McCoy - genuine Kelsey-Hayes/Motor Wheel wheels. Not available new anymore, ours are originals that have been inspected, spun (to check trueness), shot-blasted to clean steel, then individually boxed. *They are not primered anymore because of many requests - many people have them powder coated which would require stripping again. When you pull one out of the box, what you'll have is an original Kelsey-Hayes/Motor Wheel wheel as close to new as possible. **NOTE: Shot-Blasting leaves the steel grainy - some sanding will be required & then primer will fill the rest of the grain.

Features:

Multiple wheels will always match each other
Wheels are guaranteed to balance with normal weighting
Mopar wheels 1968 & newer accept the smaller Dog-Dish caps (9" OD). Mopar wheels 1967 & earlier use the larger Dog-Dish caps (10-1/4" OD). We can supply both types of Mopar wheels.
All Mopar and Ford wheels are 5-hole on 4.5" center (large) bolt pattern. (Sorry - no A-Body mopar wheels)
GM wheels are 5-hole on 4.3/4" center
(GTO, 442, Camaro, Chevelle, Firebird, Corvette, etc.)
Lug holes will not be oblong or chewed-up
If you are using aftermarket disc brake setups, we cannot guarantee factory wheels to fit over the aftermarket calipers.

You are going to have a hard time finding wheels in a 15" that take the 10" dish. I think the choices are custom or find some mid 50's half ton truck wheels. There was a set on an old 64 Fury I had and pretty sure they came off a truck. I still have them but remember they are fairly narrow.

my brother has a 69 A-100 that came with two wheels [one on the front, one on the rear. go figger] that accepted the big, early, dog dish cap. those were 15x4 1/2" wide. the other two wheels were also mis-matched, but i don't remember how. he changed all out to a matching 15x7 late style wheel and sold the 15x4 1/2's to a fellow who was building a max wedge car [if i remember right]. i'm not sure if those 4 1/2 wide wheels were original to his 69 or not, but i can't find any reference to a 15x4 1/2" wheel in my interchange books except early 55-56 6cyl, 48-56 Bseries, and 57-65 dodge 100 series truck. studebaker cars and trucks from the 50's [maybe into the early 60's] had a 15x4 wheel that take the small dog dish cap. i have 3 of these wheels that were chromed many, many moons ago, and still look very nice today. my plan for those is to be used in a wheel rotation program i have planned for my humpback.

Allen head cap machine with the back side beveled,set at the right depth,they work perfect,easy on and off and the hub cap won't come off by itself.
