What a difference new Hubcaps make!!!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Tugmaster, Aug 10, 2010.

  1. I was running 57 Caddy covers on my car and while they are real cool, they seem to be seen quite alot. I wanted something different. So... I got a set of 59 Dodge Royal Lancer caps at the Milltown show. Rick (59KUSTOM) gave me a killer deal. They really look good on the car.

    Your Chibby has that so sought after look that was so popular on the streets of San Fernando Calif. where I was a teenager in the late 50's & early 60's Looks Great . Brings back memories. I believe we called those caps Fiesta's
     
  8. They look great on Your Car, especially with the Scallops !

    certainly worth whatever you paid, those stand out big time but yet flow nicely with the car!

    Fiestas are Oldsmobile hubcaps. Lancers are mid 50s Mopar. Those new caps are refered to as "Spiders" and while the aftermarkets will fit any standard rim, the orginal spiders only fit a certain rim. By the way, did you know that they sell spiders with a hidden lock? Similar to those 80s Caddy hubcaps.

  15. I bought a set of bullets too. They won't fit because of my front castle nuts. Oh well still looks good.

    Love the car Todd. I really dig the scallops. I'm glad I could help with the caps. Thanks for the props, man. I'm glad you like 'em.

    Just to set the record straight; Fiestas are Oldsmobile caps, Spiders are chrome caps that just cover the center of the wheel & the lug nuts & the new caps on Todd's car are '59 Dodge Lancer caps. The other popular Lancer caps are '57s.

    Another nice step forward, Todd. The Caddy caps looked great, but these are just... damn!
     

  21. I know these things are HEAVY. If I ever lose on at speed it is gonna tear up what ever it hits.

    Run a bead of good quality silicone around the rim before you put them on. Tends to keep em on.

  23. Actually the clips on these things are very good quality. I'm running stock 50 Chevy rims. They went on real tight and I am positive they are not going anywhere. Todd
     
  24. Looks great. Good looking car too.
    It's amazing what a change of wheels/hubcaps can do for a car.
