Wheel center caps?

Ok,
Like a dummy I thought there would only be one size center cap. Oops! I bought a set on eBay and they are too small for my 16" Fuchs. How many different sizes are there?
Anyone
thanks
eric
P.S. My center holes are about 2.780"ish

I could be mistaken but there is one size for early cars (3 prong) with Fuchs and Cookies, then a similar non-3 prong style for later fuchs and cookies. Phone dials and other later wheels have yet other sizes. Perhaps someone here has a catalog of all the sizes/types.

I believe there are two sizes. For some reason, 70 mm comes to mind. That is about 2 3/4 inches. I don't know what size the three prong caps are.

There are also different styles of fitment on the backs of center caps for various years/models. Mine have a slight dome shape and the back mounting is a simple metal ring that fits snugly onto the hub. Then there are the ones with clips.

What kind are these? I have been looking for a center cap since I lost one of mine a few months back, maybe I can take these off your hands.

I think it is 60mm for the early 3 prong and 70mm if it has the ring clip on later cars
