My 78 came with SS hub caps that fit both 16, and 16.5 rims. Most SS caps do. And those caps aren't expensive. I then went to Midwest wheel for 6 16" rims. One caliper up front was shaped a little different. Grinder fixed that. You could buy 6 SS hub caps. And 2 16" steel rims. That way all 6 will look the same no matter the size. When those tires aged out. I got Eagles from Jim K. Sold the 6 tires and rims to someone that had a 1 ton dually with 16.5's so he could convert over. Got $1200 for the 6 . Then that paid a nice part for my new tires, and alum rims. Bob Dunahugh
