    Ok, I'm guessing that it's just a F100 wheel, but I have 3 which are the same & a 4th with subtle differences, the center looks earlier than the others. They are all 5 on 5.5 pattern & 6" wide. Thoughts? the odd one looked like one advertised as 50 Merc??

    50 Merc hubcaps are bigger diameter. Off the top of my head I don’t know what that is though. To my eyeballs, that one doesn’t look like a Merc.

    I'm selling the wheels & didn't want to miss something, the shape of the rim is a slightly different shape also.

    I would think the 4 nub wheel came later.

    Are the centers welded or riveted

    just paint them all the same color and either run wheel covers or no caps at all. at a glance they all look the same.

    Wish I owned them
     
  8. More than likely merc if a regular dog dish (non merc cap) is too small
    Won’t matter if running full caps.

    They are welded

    What's the difference in size between the two?
     
  10. Not sure. I have some merc caps I can measure when I get home

    Most likely 67 & up pickup wheels.

    Didn't Dodge also use 15x5.5? I seem to recall mounting Dodge Ramcharger wheels on one of my F150's, but it's been 30 years or so.
     
  15. Yep.
    I think the dodge center hole was smaller
