where are hubcap (diameter) sizes measured?

on the ring located on the inside (back) the hubcap?
or is it from the outside (front) full diameter of the whole hubcap?

i always was under the assumption that they were sized according to the rim of your car 15", 16" etc. Therefore the measurement would be on the inside ring of the cap.

A 15inch rim (which usually has a 15inch tire :)) would need a hubcap designed for a 15inch rim.
A 13inch rim (which usually has a 13inch tire :)) would need a hubcap designed for a 13inch rim.
A 17inch rim (which usually has a 17inch tire :)) would need a hubcap designed for a 17inch rim.

There's a pattern up there BTW :D
