A hub cap is going to cover the whole wheel in many cases whereas a grease cap only covers the hub bore so it is much smaller. Think of it as a hub cap covering the whole hub and a grease cap just covering the open end on the hub.

A good look for a vintage trailer would be the Americana Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap, # AM90086. It fits 13 to 15 inch conventional wheels. However, the chrome plated steel may be too much flash for what you are going for.

If you want the wheel appearance to stand on its own merit and not include dress up items, then sticking with the correct size grease cap would be the way to go. I have included a link to the grease caps we carry. I have also included a link to the wheel trim options for you.
