They look dome or bowl shaped to me. The phone number is in the ad, call
and ask if the centers are bowl shaped.

Those are really nice looking wheels.

They are nice. If they are the right rims, the price is irresistable. A phone call is unlikely to resolve the question. Photos from a closer vantage point, from the right angle, with light from the right direction would work better.

The more I stared at the photos in the ad, the less sure I was that they are cone shaped. We need better pictures, or someone that knows what he is looking for needs to lay eyes on them.

If someone would make hub extenders similar to Jim Hupy's, except for wheels with 4-5/8" and 5-3/4" hub holes, any bowl shaped 16" steel dually wheels with the correct bolt pattern could work (Ford or Dodge or whatever).

Here's an idea I came up with months ago, so I will post here in case anyone with some sheet metal skill wants to make some widgets to allow 16" rims with oversized hub holes to be installed on their GMC motorhome.

On the rims, try to get the seller to find the Firestone or Accuride number. Easy enough to find, located on the brake side of the wheel. Then, you would have a good reference point to determine if they are the correct shape.
On the rims with the oblong-shaped metal air valve, the number is on the front side of the wheel, much easier to find.
Reference my MSG #205195; Firestone numbers are; 28177 and 27994. The difference is the valve stem, one is normal round rubber, the other is heavy truck, with oblong metal valve stem.
I really like the center hub caps, would love to find then at local pick-a-part, but no luck yet.

JmK's Eagle center caps will not work with my current lug nuts. P.O. Installed Alcoa lug nuts, and the Eagle center caps will not allow the captured washer to clear the center dome. I tried one at the last International. I do not have enough OEM lug nuts to replace the Alco style lug nuts.
