62 Newport 14" steel rims and poverty hubcap ?

Yes. I read that also, and I thought that is what my issue was ( wheel flex )

But now I see that 2 of my rims are completely wrong, and have no chance of holding on the stock wheel cover's.

I have a perfect set of 62 stock wheel cover's that look good on the car so I think I am going to try and find 2 correct rims with the nubs first... If I can not find any then maybe go a different way.

Yes I've thought about this over the years. I have 2 cars with these type of covers and they don't ever loose them. But they have always been adult owned and cared for, not flogged by wild stunt drivers. If that makes a difference.

I posted a wanted ad for 2 of these rims with the nubs in the parts wanted section of this forum...

4 little nubs equidistant around the outer edge of the rim as in the picture.

Most likely off an early 60's Chrysler... 14"

If anyone has 2 or even one of these layin around, it will be an easy sale.

NO NUBS = No Good for 62 anyway.

If I’m reading your post correctly your looking for a 14in Mopar rim that will clear disc calipers and be able to use a 10in dog dish or 14in full wheel cover??

I’ve tried 70s 14in disc rally’s wheels and 14in aspen wheels and won’t clear calipers.
I don’t think the rims your looking for exist?

I’ve found that early 60s 15in dodge truck rims will accept 10 inch dog dish hubcaps but may not clear disc calipers

I think there is a repop rim that is made for this application

This rim is 15in that fits 10in cap
Came from early 60s dodge truck
