Yep. Look like ‘69 model year wheels for “Rostyle” hubcaps, with the studs removed.    We earlier car owners use that wheel with shortened studs to attach regular chrome hub caps.

Previous owner had cut the lugs off and filled smooth and fitted the later style centre black hub caps.

Seems like sacrilege now, but I suppose at one time the wheel trim off the five looked a bit “old fashioned” and someone wanted the newer look.

But nowadays I’d love to have a car that “should” have those wheels.

Agreed, I think they look great with early wheels.
