1950 Dodge Wayfarer Hubcaps Wheel trims

[SimonTiki]

Sorry if this has already been asked but I can’t see anything on it.

On my 1950 Dodge Wayfarer I currently have stock running gear, wheels and hubcaps.  I’m going to keep the stock wheels, but I wondered if you have any suggestions for any cool looking hubcaps or wheel trims.

The wheels have clips on them to hold the factory hubcaps on, and the hub nuts sit quite proud, so I’m not sure if that would limit my choices.  And could someone advise how I measure the bolt pattern, I'm not too sure? Or advise me of the standard bolt pattern on a Wayfarer.

Thanks

 

Sorry I forgot to say that I am lowering the car a couple of inches all round.

Maintaining a stock look, I would keep the original hubcaps.

Hi Simon,

I would guess that the bolt pattern is most likely 5 on 4.5.

You should be able to find a whole range of 15" full discs that will suit your wheels.

I've always liked ripple discs but there are plenty to choose from.

Happy shopping!

Thanks Robin.  Because of the clips on the wheels and the way the hub nut is raised I was unsure what would fit.  I guess the best thing to do is to try some.

With the car looking stock and the wide whites, I'd keep the OE covers. But aftermarket wheels can look good too. I wanted modern radial wheels and tires and disc brakes so I had to retire the OE wheels and covers. I may put steel wheels on it and the OE covers in the future. But I do like the wheels I put on mine.

I put Lincoln Town Car wheels on mine.

Thanks all.  She's back now (not the best photo), but I went plain black stock wheels and spiders.

Nice looking car. We are in a small fraternity with these Wayfarer sedans.
