Finally got hubcaps for my 59, only they don't fit. Have since tried several wheels, none fit other than one deep dish Jeep Wheel that's a little to wide for the 59. Any help on interchangeability would be appreciated. I'm not that pressed about authenticity. I just want to be able to use the correct hubcap without the wheel looking too wide. Thanks

Sounds like someone has changed the wheels for possible ones from a Buick or a Pontiac.

Cadillac rims have a deep outer edge, solely for retaining the full-disc wheel caps.
