Hi everyone,I havent posted much as i have been busy trying to finish my truck.My 57 came with steel wneels with 3 riveted spring clips to hold the hubcaps on,the caps were off a 54.I recently bought another set of 4 steel wheels but the hubcaps would be held on by three lugs pressed into the steel wheel.Which is correct for my 57 as I need to buy hubcaps and like the original 57 type and the cameo type but I need to know how they fix to the steel wheel thanks in advance Mark

the wheels with the clips were correct before 1960, the ones with the 'lumps' are newer style
55-60 had 3 clips, the earlier ones [car and truck] had 6 clips, and they'll also work for the correct hubcaps [which are the same for 57-60]
