I don't recognize the caps you initially posted the image of & I'm a geek for steelies & poverty caps.
I have dog-dish caps on my Malibu (60's era), my 64 C10, my 67C10, my 3/4 ton, my trailer, & Cabriolet. My dually uses full caps that resemble poverty caps too.

I recently bought a set of g-body era (78-88) poverty caps for the Malibu as well.
Yeah, I was trying to search the ones that I found everywhere but it seems those are not oem at all haha. And yeah, at least I know the correct size I need now

In the image below.... The three matching caps are S10 spec dog-dish/poverty caps. The 4th cap is a C10 81-87 vintage dog-dish/poverty cap.They are all the 10 1/8" size that should work w/an S10 spec steel wheel.
The C10 caps are easy to find (Craigslist; E-bay). The S10 caps are out there but get expensive for NICE (take-off quality) caps. Less for 'used' caps.

Find one of the C10 variety (since they're cheaper/easier to find) to confirm it fits your wheel as it should. If so, hunt for the S10 caps or look for any 10 1/8 GM passenger car cap that you like the looks of.
I got those all black S-10 caps, I think I painted one blue thou

Hey guys, so the thing is that my 86' MC has this style of steel rims.

I found some dog dish style hubcaps and they mostly fit but I can't get them pass one of the little knubs on the rim when trying to install them, every time. Also I notice 2 of the knubs are like hooks to hold caps. I think they will fit but I don't know how to make them fit or install them. Any ideas? Also, these are the caps I found
Those caps may be from a Chevette. I would measure the backside. I believe Chevette caps may be smaller in diameter...at least where they clip on.

My dogdish caps. '66-'67 vintage. The second cap is from a '70's-'80's B-body Caprice police, taxi, etc. They're all aluminum I believe. The third pic has them on a cool Malibu.
