Wanted - Steelies with nubs for dogdish caps

Hey guys,

Lookin' for a set of old school steel wheels with the nubs for the 10.5" moon cap. Usually came on hubcap cars. Anyone got a set kickin' around?

They look like this:


And with the caps:



Help!

I may. Not sure what wheels I'm running since I never got around to pulling the caps yet. I'll let you know in a couple days if something doesn't come up sooner.

Jeez. I gave mine away. I can get vintage moons with bowties stamped in 'em. I have one now and they are OEM

Thanks Brad. I could swap you a set of lace wheels...

That's what I'm hoping for. I want plain caps though. I can get them on the bay again.


Maybe I'll hit the boneyard tomorrow...

If mine work for you then I'll swap them for some of them Roady ones since it is a Buick. Or the Fleetwood chromies. Or the Cappy lace ones if they don't say Chevy on them

Of course mine are currently wearing whitewalls so you may not be interested

That would be a sweet trade off for both sides

I would be very interested in whitewalls.

But I really just need the rims.

I have no roadie wheels. No fleetwood chromies. And one set of dismounted caprice lace wheels. I think I have some caps with bowties and some without.

So.... Got a set?

(yeah, you!)

Going to take a look tomorow. I was too busy dealing with vacuum lines today and then I needed to run out for school.

Good news and bad news.

Good news:





Bad news:
I need to swap another set on as these come off since they're my only wheels. The problem is I don't know what'll fit thanks to the brake clearence in the rear

Bill, are those a truck wheel? Some of the older 2wd trucks had the GM hubcaps on them? I'll check, but seems to me i saw a set at the junk yard on a 2wd chebby.

Do you have any 9C1 wheels you'd wanna trade? I have like 7 of those off my wagon

I have a set of caprice alloys I could trade.

Wait are those 5 X 4.75?
What does Crovo need?
Christ, I'm all confused

Center of 1 stud to the outside edge of the one across from it. It took me years to figure that out without resorting to a manual. Supposedly you can also go from center to the midpoint between the 2 across but that always makes my measurement come up short so I don't bother with that method.

After I posted up I started to use my brain
I thought about the bolt cicle but knew there HAD to be a reason you put the tape there
Thanks for the dope slap, I'm get it now

Naa, i'm gonna stick with my N97's and my hubcaps in the winter but thanks. You don't happen to have a wagon hitch you arent using do you? I'll run outside tomorrow when its not raining out and snap ya some pics of what I got. I wanna keep a couple for snows. But I do have enough for two full sets.

I have a bunch of steel wheels you could use for winter tires, too. Just none with nubs that I need.

I'm lookin for ones like the black ones here: (ignore the batman N97's)

I know what n97's are.

You said you had a bunch of steel wheels. but it was unclear if the ones you were checking were n97's, it sounded like they were plain steelies, so I was offering to trade my nubless ones for your nubbed ones. Apparently, I misunderstood.

I think we're both confused lol. I have like 7 or 8 of the ones you're looking for, at least I think I do. Not 100% sure if they have the lip. which I will trade for the ones I posted if you have them

i saw steel rims on a tan caprice at Regal Auto parts in brockton

i also have aobut a dozen alloy wheels with center caps in good condition but with no tires i am willing to sell

Nope, I'm not confused. Just you. I don't have any n97's.

Ok thats what I thought you said. Because the whole time im like wait, the black steelies ARE N97's

Anyways! I will go out tomorrow and try and snap a pic to make sure its what you need and we can go from there if Brad's dont fit.

No, N97's are "N97's" or "9c1 wheels."

Steelies are steelies.

/school

You're welcome.

Bro N97 is the code on the SPID label for the 9c1 wheels.

Easy way to remember

Smooth wheels with 4 slots around the border are the "steelies". They are meant for full hubcaps. Usually these come as a spare on upscale cars.

Wheels with a bunch of round holes around them are the n97's. They are meant for the little center and trim rings.

Wheels with a handfull of oblong holes are the truck wheels. They are handled just like n97's but come in a desirable 15x8 version.

Steelies with 4 little nubs on the inner ring are the "old School" wheels. They can run either a small old school hub cap or a fullsize hub cap. Brians red car had the small caps and so do the pics Crovo posted in this thread. My car is running those wheels but with fullsize hubcaps if you can track down the pic I posted.

Crovo wants a set of the "old School" wheels and is willing to trade some Caprice "lace" wheels for them. My wheels would work for Crovo but I don't know if the "lace" wheels would fit on my car. Also I would need to have tires mounted on them so that I can swap them on as mine come off.

Everyone is now caught up.

Please continue

What size are those moon caps? Is there away to tell?

Thanks for straightening that out, Brad. LOLZ

My last set were a 10.5" ID, but I'd measure for sure before I ordered another set...

It looks like I may be all set with these wheels. And I think we have a new inductee to the inner circle.

Thanks guys!

Did steve finally make it???

Thank god I don't, much better on the outside of "gangland" nh, than on the inside.

If it doesn't work 4 ya I bought 4 of those steeles today at the junkyard.

Gangland... LOL!

And if you bought those for me, then I will cover whatever you spent for them. Thanks. Send me a PM or something.

I just grabbed them, cause I liked the idea for the moon caps on a wagon, but I have no wagon. And I wanted the new tires that are on them.
