    You could switch to 55-6 wheels and use the 5-6 caps are the vettes. 56 Lincoln will be close.lots of Dodge-and Mopar will-fit.. Have Chevy style wheels on my 53-6 Ford pick up hubs. The grease cap
    Is an issue. I’ve got some plain full covers no logo on them .I’ll post a picture tomorrow.

    Those 58 Chevy dog dish caps as previously pictured, while handsome are a real problem to install without damage, a bit of lube, hook it over one of the three nubs& give an ever so easy press on or they will look as pictured

    If it covers the whole wheel, it's a wheel cover.

    If it covers just the center of the wheel, you know, where THE HUB is, then it is called a hub cap.

    It's kinda weird that there is confusion about this
