Hi John,

I wanted 15 inch wheels on my 63 Polara 500 to fit bigger tires, but
like you I wanted to keep my original spinner hubcaps.  I played a
cool trick where I got a couple of 15 inch stainless "trim rings" at
the junk yard.  I welded the 14 inch hubcaps to the 15 inch trim ring.
 They look perfect and still pop on and off like a regular hubcap
should.  I needed to add valve extensions, which are readily available
and cheap.  See pictures below.
