Danchuk sells new stock wheels for 57 Chevys. I think they are around $100 each.

Welcome to TRI-FIVE!!!
If your going with original hubcaps, the wheels will have to have nubs (small bumps) around the edge to hold the hubcaps on. Also, stock rims won't work with disc brakes in front, but the Danchuk reproductions will work with disc brakes, and they have the nubs. Swap meets are your best bet for original wheels.

Don....The nubs that you are referring to, are the ones required to hold on the smaller, "dog dish", type hubcaps on.....Correct?? Outer nubs would not be required for full wheel covers, would they?

There are nubs for the full size hupcaps. I believe there are also nubs for the smaller hubcaps also.

Keep your eye on ebay. Be sure to ask to be sure they're not bent!!
