Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 75 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 75 | I’m not having any luck finding hubcaps for my Chevy wheels. They are 15 x 5.5, 6 lug wheels with the ‘nubs’ for hubcaps. I’ve ordered twice from vendors and had to return both orders. These wheels are supposed to be 61 - 66 year models but none of the vendors I know about will confirm a fit. Can someone put me on to a source for a chrome hubcap with logo to go on these wheels? Any help appreciated.

I used the "dog dish" type hubcaps from a 1970 Camero. They are like baby moons but have a chevy emblem in the top center. I have seen them at swap meets and also on e-bay. I painted the emblem chevy blue and in my opinion go very well with a stock looking truck. Although a knowledgeable stovebolter would know, many people think they are original. If you cannot find a picture online, I can take one and try to send to you.

Received hubcaps that fit the wheels today from The Filling Station. This is not intended to be an endorsement but at least a rep from that vendor did follow up with a call and their ‘fitment’ information was accurate.
Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions !

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions ! Why not? Getting parts from the Filling Station is a religious experience IMHO. The people care and make sure you get the right parts the first time, then on top of that choose the correct way (the easiest on your wallet) to get them to you.

5ptstar, as sstock posted, we all benefit from reviews of vendors'/sellers products and services. That information will benefit all of us in future transactions with those sources of parts.
