It's the little stuff that is challenging...

Ok guys, found a rim from a fellow stovebolter I am planning on buying. I still don't think I have the correct hub cap though. Take a look at the back of the hubcap in this picture:

Now from the front it sure looks like the correct hubcap:

The inside diameter is only 7-7/8". The lugs are on about a 9-3/4" diameter? It looks like maybe this hubcap was supposed to have the clips that weld into the rim?

Anybody have a stock hubcao that fits the ears that you could take a look at the hubcap and see if it looks like the picture? I am betting that the hubcap for the ear style rim has a simple rolled over edge, not the big inward flange like on the hubcap I have.

The back of the one I have looks kind of like the back of the one's on the rally rim center caps that were used on Camaro's?

What say ye gentlemen?

As always, thanks for your help guys!
