lancer hubcap

found that hubcap -- love that style - but wonder how they are looking on a car - they should be for the 58 chevy
do you guys know them?? - what do you think about em ??, because there's no chance to see them over here in austria
lancer 59

 

I actually have 2 original sets...Some guys like to take the centers and adapt them to Caddy caps,,,wich look really slick...I've also seen them on some older Buicks too...I've been thinking about selling them to free up some $$$ to finish other project...I will let you know before i put them up on the choppin block...I just sold a set of caps to another one of your members and had a tough time shipping them to him,,,but we ended up working everything out...So if they are something you may be interested in...Send me a pm and we'll work things out....

I Don't have a good pic of them. But here they are on a 59 Ford.

 

That one is a aftermarket copy of the original 59 Dodge Royal Lancer. Center logo is a little different and the original cap covered the whole rim so only a slight amount of the rim was visable. Had a set of originals on my brand new 60 Impala. <font color="red"> </font>

Real Lancer caps where called full wheel hubcaps.

 

Are the reproduction lancers good quality? They seem to be pretty pricey. Just wanted you guy's opinion. later plmczy

 

Mine are good.
Only problems are the paint in the checkers is peeling off after a year.
And they are heavy, even worse with the bullets added to them. My first 2 monthes of having them, I had 2 fly off driving.
So now I have them hard mounted on.

 

59Ford, how do you have them hard mounted? later plmczy

 

Take a Fake Knock Off kit from Pep Boys. This bolts to your wheel lugs and sticks thru your wheel. Cut it in half or to the size you need and weld it back together. The top of it has a nut welded to the top of it. I think the nut is the same thread and pitch as the bullets. If not weld the proper nut to the top of the Knock Off kit. Find threaded rod and cut it to the correct length. Pop the center cap off the hubcap.
When you put the hubcap on, the long stud should be sticking thru your hubcap. Take the bullet a screw it on to the threaded stud, which in turns holds the hubcaps on.
Also theft proof. (until now.)

 

Cool, thanks for the info and sorry for blowin your cover . later plmczy

 

i was looking for a hubcap similiar to this one but am not able to find it, Can someone please help me out in locating this? Or is this a custom peice?

 

Im looking for caps like these too for my 51 fleetline... Anybody know where i can get a set or something similar?

 

looks like a 58 olds with a 59 dodge spinner and a bullet

 

I agree!

 

58 olds hubcaps had special clips that only fit '58 olds wheels and are about impossible to find. Those look to be mid 50's mercury caps (about '53-56?) with '59 lancer "crabs" mounted to them. I've got a set of real '57 lancers for sale if anybody needs em.

 

No.. the quality of the Repros are bad.. there cheap.. I had a set on my 55.. with the bullit centers.. they popped off the wheels and got caught up in between the skirts and the tires.. slicing the sidewalls to ****..

 

This is a 5 year old thread.

 

The caps are still cheap.. even from 5 years ago to now.. at least someones using the search..
