So, this guy on craigslist near me has a set of these for sale. He measured them and said they fit in an 8.5" hole, roughly. My steel wheels I have are about a 6.5" center hole. Question is... do I have the wrong steelies or does he have the wrong center caps? Oh... my car is a 69 RT Charger. Thanks

I'm guessing they go on truck rims

Do not measure the center wheel hole, measure the outer cap nubs.  ;)

They were used on other cars / trucks / vans / model years also. SS or aluminum versions depending on the exact application, but they are all the same size.

They fit perfect! Couple of dings in them, but they are originals, and I only paid 100 bucks for them! Thanks again sir  :cheers:

Based on the pic you posted it looks like they're stainless steel. If so, with the right stuff and some time they can be polished up to look really nice.
