    Anyone know what diameter these caps would be? I'm considering them for use on Vintiques 17" steelies, which apparently are 10-1/8" inside diameter. Thanks for any input you can offer. John B

    I asked him to measure them. He didn't sound too sure of himself, but he came up with 10 7/8ths. Guess they won't fit if he's right, eh?

    [IIf the cap you posted measures 10 7/8 diameter on the inside, (install attachment) I do have a wheel it would fit.[/I]

    The wheel would have to be 17" to be of any use to me. Thanks.
