Steelbreeze Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) The wheels on my 1948 Windsor must not be correct. I bought what I believed to be the correct dog dish style hub cap with Chrysler script. I think it is a 10", and when I tried to put on the wheel it will not come close to snapping in place. They do have the clips but the size seems invited. I ended up purchasing a set of one piece hubcaps for a 1950 and they fit and look good but ultimately I would like to get the 2 piece wheel covers that have the hubcap and trim ring. But I need the correct wheels to start. Is there a part number i should look for? This is a picture of my current hubcaps.

Steelbreeze Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 I'm bumping this old question in case someone has any new info I could use. Or even has the correct hub/trim ring combo for sale for my 47 Windsor club coupe. Hope to have on the road soon. No one in south Florida's I can find has a clue about my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Post a photo of your rim without the hubcap, maybe someone can identify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggettham13 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I believe that I have a couple of the 2 piece hubcaps in my storage....I'll post pics when I find them....I think the outer ring part is a bit rusty but its there....give me a day or so....

LRudyD Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Here’s from my ‘48: 15” wheel, the tire size is 7.6-15. Mine are Bedfords. I don’t know much more about the wheels except that they are original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianad1156 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 There was a change in wheel size in late 47 if I remember correctly. If I was at my parts book I could tell you the serial number of exactly when they switched. Do you have a 47 or 48? The title of your post says 47 but the text says you have a 48. I have a parts car that has the older wheel style and I dont think I need them for my 48. If you need the older ones and have the newer size, perhaps we could swap. However, I might be a little confused by the pictures. It looks like you have the 49 hubcaps like I do. They fit on my 48 by the clips squeezing into the outer portion of the rim. They don't use the clips meant for the dog dish hubcaps. I would think that yours would fit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_37215 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I have a 1949 Windsor 1st Series (so basically a 1948 model) and it has the dog dish hubcaps. They are 11" in diameter. I think you may have simply purchased the wrong dog dish set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
