That hubcap has never been in any kit, you might have to check with the resin casters. I think one did make them, but I don't recall who off the top of my head.

The COPO Nova caps MIGHT work, they wouldn't be a 100% match to those '55 caps. Just stripping the chrome, and painting them white with red centers would help, and would probably do the trick if you didn't look too close.

I don't have the Revell caps, but the MPB resin hubcaps are pretty similar to the ones in the new Copo Nova kit-

I just did a little looking, and while the COPO Nova caps are somewhat similar in design, the caps from the '57 Black Widow are even closer. If you do a little work to them, filling in the ribbed area around the perimiter, you should be able to fab up the '56-'56 truck caps from those. Plus, the Black widow has the correct '55-'60 Chevrolet truck wheels.
