    Are these hubcaps 55 chevy ?? what model ?? I"ve got 15's on my 57' chevy and think they'd look pretty sharp with some whitewalls, maybe even on my 52'.. appreciate the help!

    Believe it or not i couldn't get a good pic off the google to confirm!

    Thanks.

    Actually those are 56 Bel Air caps. 55's looks similar, but had 8 bowties around them instead of 6, and had white paint around them instead of black.

    I believe those are 56's. 55's were white where those are black. Same caps,just different paint.

    I'm 95% sure that the hubcaps for the '55 and '56 are the same. If they have white painted around the center they are '55 and black for '56. I have a set of the white ring '55 small caps on a project that I'm working on.

    Hope that helps,

    55 and 56 are not the same...those are 56's.

    55's look like this:
