Caps that is. What is the correct steel wheel and cap for 68? Thanks in advance.

14" with 3 bumps unless a Hemi. Then it would be a 15" with 3 bumps

A guy on Moparts did some photoshop work on a pic of my 63 as I am thinking of going to the poverty caps. So he gave a me a few different looks with them on this link. Ron

As far as I know, all the poverty caps were the same diameter.

onebad, do you want the correct wheels for a '68 or are leaning towards the Plymouth Division dog dishes? Either way, I have both sets if interested.

There are still some good deals out there.

Adam is right, there are two different sizes, they will not interchange - you need the right year wheels too. The newer dog dish caps are smaller, 9" across the back.

All I can say is I've never had a problem putting any poverty cap on any wheel. The difference may not be size, since that info says nothing about different size caps, just different size wheels. It could be there was a difference in the caps ala stainless Vs aluminum

I am not exactly sure when the caps got smaller. I had some 1965 wheels I tried to put the 1970 style caps on and it was a no go.

The newer caps interchange, stainless or aluminum makes no difference.

There are indeed two different sized caps. I have some of each, but I'm not sure what the larger caps are off of.

I know there were some truck caps that were larger
