Paul,
Do these have the 3 or 4 dog dish hubcap flanges ?
Best regards,
John

John, all wheels listed have three hubcap flanges.

Greg, I'm no expert but here is what I believe:

A) conventional wisdom is the 15 X 5.5" were on the very early cars and changed to 15 X 6" sometime after the initial batch of cars were sent to SA.

B) 15 X 6"  are riveted while the 15 X 5.5" have welded centers.

C) I run 5.5" rims on car 541. Don't have/should be 15X6", no way to tell difference with tires mounted.
