Roadster Hubcap Question ?

I have a full set of hubcaps that I think are Datsun because they are nearly identical in design to my 1969 Datsun Roadster stock hubcaps but have to fit a smaller wheel because they have a valve stem hole in them !! Does any of you Datsun enthusiasts have any idea what they are for ? The total diameter of the hubcap is very close to the 14 inch stock but with the hole for the valve stem ! Could they be for a 12 inch wheel ? HELP ???

They might be for a 1500. They used 13 inch wheels. 510s also used 13 inch wheels.

The 1500 hubcap is a full disc cap. It does not have a dedicated valve stem hole as the valve stem merely sticks out through one of the holes in the cover. If you go to Greg Valazza's awesome site, you can see a picture of the wheel covers at:

The 1500 in the first pic has stock hupcaps. Can you post a picture of the ones you have?
