Ideas for 13" covers on larger wheels?

[66GTvert]

Background: my Dart wears a nice set of 14" LBP rallys and 205/70s all around. I drive it like a granny when it's not put away for winter, and this setup works very well. But...I have a serious thing for the stock look on these cars, particularly these 13" wheel covers and white stripes (pic stolen from fellow '66 owner and Ohioan "Flashback"):

As much as I dig this, there's a bunch of reasons why I don't actually want to run 13" wheels on this car, such as going back to SBP, current and future availability of tires, etc. I've been searching for a way to make this work with 14"s, but nothing has panned out so far. The closest I've found was this guy, who cut up some 14" rims and welded them to 15"s to fit his 14" covers. I asked one custom wheel builder about doing something similar, and apparently the 13" rims/hoops/whatever you call them are too different from everything else for it to be practical. Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this being done successfully?

Lemmi see if i can find the pics of waggin II It has 15 inch centerlines and the 13" wheelcovers fit them nicely for that sleeper look, a standard 13" wheelcover snaps right into the centerline wheel,and the dog dish cap is screwed to it from the backside first painting the full wheelcover then adding the dawg dish gave it just the right disguise.although this may not work for you it may inspire an idea for ya :cheers:

That's really cool waggin, thank you! Two questions:

- which model Centerline 15"s are under there? Looking around, they make a lot of different styles/shapes.

- once they're on, how do you get the painted covers off? Is there room to pry them from the front like normal, or do you have to stick something through the vents in the rim and push from the back?

Could poke around here. You may or may not find something that would work.
