This is before I installed Hub centered Eagles from JimK.
The Plastic Simulators work well, shine up nicely and stay on... as long as you pay attention to the little metal clips. The get loose when taking the caps off, if you loose a clip, the cap is likely to come off. (I have only lost one and I have a few caps with home-made replacement clips.)
I suspect a set of STEEL simulators that BOLT ON would work for both 16 inch and 16.5... but if using the clipped on plastic CAP, I would want the size matched to the wheel.
At $20 per wheel... It is the "most bang for the buck" way of dressing up a coach.
If I where selling a coach with steel wheels, I am sure it would be a good investment.

Back in 1966 the DOT made spinner hub caps - simulated knock-offs illegal.
British cars with real wing nuts or tri-wingnuts were also made illegal
and the Brits countered with a huge 6 or 8 sided wheel nut that used a
special wrench to remove the wheels. Place the wrench on the nut and hit
it with a lead hammer.
