need help with rims

I'm looking at replacing my Torqu thrusts with steel rims & trim. I was looking at vintique 63 series from Jegs $85 ea. They are listed as a Chrysler. are these the same as the old Ford rims, will the ford caps fit.
Thanks

they show them as out side hubs... I would question them on it? Also look at Hot Rod Steel - 15x6 Primed - Ford - OE Wheels - Wheels . What bolt pattern are you running?

Thanks, I'm running 5x4 1/2 I'm also trying not to get unilugs which Jegs carry as bare steel for about $67 each. The ones on hot rods don't list the back spaces or I just don't see it.

The car model doesn't matter as much as the bolt pattern. Most Chrysler products used the same 5 on 4 1/2" bp that Ford cars did, but there were some applictions where they threw a curve ball and also used a 5 on 4 1/4" pattern, mostly on their smaller cars, like the Dart.

OK... 5x4.5... early fords had the nibbles on the inside of the ring and the ones in the pic that you posted had outside nipples like later fords
