    Saw a 32 at the Mooneyes show with these hubcaps. Anyone recognise them? Think they were 16". 20191130_132724.jpg

    Not like anything I have seen before. Possibly aftermarket or trailer.

    Sorry what I'm saying by 'Coining' is the Hubcap is a Big feature on any ride or can help Nail or Define 'The Look' and those Caps you posted HAVE 'The Look' indeed...;)

    Got ya - yeah they are indeed awesome. Actually asked a few guys I know if they knew what they were before posting. Hopefully someone recognises them :)

    Pete this is a quote from Beaner and believe he and others are of the same opinion...

    It is interesting that the one you posted even has a Trim Ring to boot...

    Pete I think the one you posted has more beads and perhaps these were made even in late 30s who knows...there was JC Witney too I believe that may have carried these as well...

    I think I used to own those caps.
    I sold them on Ebay to a guy in Japan.
    They are pre-war and are the same as used on the Skip-it early custom/dry lakes car
    They attach to an early ford wire wheel the same way a stock cap does and are made from Aluminum

    That's not a hubcap. That's a wheel cover.

    Despite the popularity for doing so, the terms are not interchangeable.

    Looks to me like a hubcap with a beauty ring. Reminds be of some made by National of single bar acc. caps fame.

    I knew it would happen (and I agree with you)... but was waiting for the hubcap vs wheel cover to get brought up:eek::D...OR we could talk about wheels vs rims.....:D:D:D:D:D

    Close but no cigar, a lot more 'rings' on the ones I posted.
