I need your opinion on which hub cap to use on my 65 satellite. I have the police style wheels w/ black wall tires. I have baby moons or early 70 dodge police style dog dish caps. the wheels will be painted in the org. gold body color to match the car. they are mocked up on the bare metal wheels 001.jpg002.jpg003.jpg006.jpg009.jpg167.jpg313.jpg thanks for your input
 
I like the cop caps A LOT better ;). Have you thought about a set of 65 style dog dishes? There are methods discussed on the forum on how to use those with the later model wheels with smaller hubs
 
Those are Ford rims. Specifically Ranger if I recall correctly.

Steelies with early dog dishes look so much better.
 
It all depends on what "look" you want to achieve; personally, I wanted the car to appear "factory issue"--though we all know 65 Satellites didn't come with 15" cop car rims or vented hub caps.

I like the cop car vented caps. Save the baby moons for Chevies and Fords.
 
If you decide to go with the 65 caps and steel wheels? I've got a set of nice ones (caps) I'll sell! get back to me if so!
 
Early Valiant SS caps fit the late model small knob wheels. The actual 65 B Body caps only fit the early big knob wheels directly and these are virtually all 14 inch. I am told that Stockton Wheel had(s) a conversion 15 inch rim for those early big knob centers if you send in a 14 inch rim for conversion.

these wheels are 14" and they had no tabs to mount the caps so I made my own tabs they'll be in primer tomorrow caps fit nice and tight. I got the cop caps at a swap for $10.00 ea can't go to far wrong
 
can't go wrong with poverty caps on the '63-4-5's:eusa_pray:

My .02..I am not a fan of either....so I vote just plain painted rim...which can make a car look mean.
