    I know that, but those are better than none at all. Are you inferring a fit problem.

    Guys the full size caps were accessory offering by Hudson from 1952.  They were the senior car standard in 1954.

    They'll fit the 15 inch rims.  Did you contact Frank.  I saw him buy some nice ones at auction.

    They fit, but will they stay on ? The 54  wheels had raised "bumps or nubs" near the valve stem hole that helped keep the full disc from slipping and then popping off. A little hard to believe, but the wheel actually flexes under cornering forces. There was a thread on the subject a while back.
