When did Chevrolet start with 14" wheels and use the small hubcaps?
I have a 53 Chevrolet that has 14" wheels, just would like to find some hubcaps that will fit and look good.
Thanks

1957 first year for 14" wheels on chevy pass cars. 1953 wheels were 15" by 5" .in order to use the small hubcaps, there will need to be three protrusions in the wheels hub to allow attachment of the dog dish hubcaps. Dancheck repos a real nice 57 dog dish hubcap, about 100 bucks for a set of 4. mike
