I have seen a couple set of the Buick poverty caps for sale one here, plus a couple of cars running them.
My question is a slightly simple one, Can someone post up a picture of what wheel these caps go on.

Are you asking if they go on a certian type of rim?
All the ones Ive seen fit on steelies.

Most poverty caps fit the 14" and 15" plain steel wheels. They use the same or similar wheel centers and change the rim diameter depending on what size it is.
The 1st picture below is a 15x6" wheel, the 2nd picture shows a pair of 14x6" wheels. Note the slight difference in the wheel centers of the blue wheels - the one on the left features 4 "bumps" that hold the hubcap on while the one on the left only has 3 "bumps". Not sure if that has to do with wheel manufacturer or the year the wheels were made but both work fine for poverty caps.
