I just bought the whitewall tire and wheel combination from vintage trailer supply. I have the 15", 6 bolt on 5.5 pattern. VTS is out of stock on their baby moon caps. Does anyone have any other recommendations as to where to find a good quality cap to fit this wheel?
Ebay is a crapshoot as you never know what you're getting.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Holy cow, they sure have a variety, I tried to measure from the center of the wheel opening to the edge of the little nub that the cap would fit over and it looks to be about 10 7/16". I don't know if that is a dimension they need to fit the proper center cap?
Thanks.

I basically measured and picked the one closest. Not very scientific, but it worked more than once. Each rim size seems far enough from the next to make picking fairly clear for me. Hopefully this holds true for you, too.
Mikes hubcaps are thicker than VTS. They don't dent as easily.
