CT Two (2) '65 C10 wheel covers

[Jimal]

Here's the deal: I jumped the gun and purchased this off of eBay without looking/realizing/ recognizing that these won't work with my wheels. Lesson learned, I now want to pass them along to the next enthusiast.





These are in okay shape. "Good patina", which just means they're a bit rusty and the right one has some minor damage in that upper left element of the three elements that make these wheel covers look so cool. As you can see, these are for wheels with clips, which I do not have. Nor do I want to modify what I have to make them work.

I paid $86 plus shipping, so that is my price. They're going back into the box they arrived in today. I'm back to eBay to give the seller a positive review. It wasn't his fault.

Jimal, don't be too hard on yourself as hubcap fitment confusion is fairly prevelent. Those caps fit SIX LUG clip type wheels. The caps with a similar, but narrower ring fit EIGHT LUG clip wheels. NO RING caps fit six lug bump style wheels (most common). I bet fully 50% of the ringed caps sold on ebay are selling to buyers with the wrong wheels.
Pimpston, you buyin these for your six lug 17.5's? They should work there.

Thanks. In my rush, I didn't look at all of the pictures in the auction on my phone. Had I looked at them, I would have seen that they wouldn't have worked. Oh well, someone else can use them and I'm onto the next thing.

Are the pieces spot welded together or is it a press/clip fit?
