Those are for 33MM nuts not 1 1/2 that a '96 would have. These would work.

Nearly 1k for a complete set with tag axle... mmh... I think I need to treat my hub caps a little more gently next time I pull them.

Maybe hijacking the post a bit but I have seen covers that go over your chrome lug nuts to show a clean look for the front and rear wheels. Anyone have the info I where to get those?

Try Amazon.ca and type in (wheel nut caps) and there is both screw and push on nut covers in
there. I also saw a whole big box in Inland Kenworth here is Burnaby so also try a truck shop.

They are a little pricey for what they are, but if you want them to match, these are what came with your coach

Pam and Mike,

If you decide to drop the dime to get the full covers get the real wheels NOT the tcane brand.  My coach came with the tcane and yes they are nice but the bolt used to attach them is hard to get to on the drive and tag wheels and is a Allen head bolt that is easy to strip.....  Just my .02.

I found them by a part number on the cap. Alcoa 0001501.
FT has them or other places. $6 bucks each plus shipping
