    My buddy @guffey found these vintage clear red hub caps and is wondering who made them or if anyone had ever seen a set before? I had never seen them and I paged thru my 1962 JC Whitney catalog and did not find them.....

    Are they hubcaps or traffic lite lenses? What's the diameter?

    I think sgtlethargic was being sarcastic referring to the earlier traffic light remark.
    Just an observation, KK

    Well, put them on one of your custom rods, post the picture, and add a poll.
