Let's see those 15" hubcaps!

I'm looking for some ideas for hubcaps on my Olds. Not sure I like the stock ones that much. Whatcha got?

Actually, I'm kinda leaning towards some kind of spinner.

Anymore ideas?

I wouldn't change a thing.

 

ill take your old ones

 

I just purchased some 15" 1950 plymouth caps for my bird for $50 at a local flea market

 

What is going on the 48.

 

Hanging in my office...........had them 25-30 years.....not the cheap one you buy today...but they were after market back in the day...Western Auto...I think they were $29.95 a set.

these are all "wheel covers" not hub caps

this is a hub cap

 

Well sure, if you want to get technical, but I think everyone knows what I'm talking about. Tannergang, I'm liking those. I'll give ya your money back, lol! Also, I tinted the side windows today. I kind of like the look.

I'd honestly stick with those HUBCAPS.... you already have on there

 

As long as I have them that means I've got to build me a custom....if I get rid of them, then I have nothing to look forward to using them on.........complicated, ain't it.

Ripple caps. Almost no one does it and they are really cool on an old custom.

This is a good solution right here.

 

Are these Moon Starburst covers or an O.E wheel cover? Always liked this look.

I think these 1960 Buick covers might work on your Olds....

 

Those are both good suggestions. I know a lot of guys like the stock caps, but I think I want to get away from original.

I don't think that any car company at least here in the US ever used a ripple cap from the factory. I don't know who was the first to produce them but Moon is a good bet on it. Today there are a some companies that reproduce them.

 

Thanks Beaner. Chromed Moon stuff doesn't last long here in the UK and if there was a US made alternative i'd be interested in knowing where i could grab a set.

 

Ripple caps only look good on the wall. 48~52 caddy caps would be sweet. Build a custom!

True, but im pretty sure they were inspired by '56 Olds caps which look mighty similar!
