    Hey guys, about to pull the trigger on some Hubcap Mike's 57' Cadillac re-pop hubcaps/wheel covers and wanted to check with you guys regarding quality. Only reason i'm checking is because they are steel and not stainless.. and I wanted to find out if you guys ever had a problem with flaking or rusting?? I can get the stainless re-pops from Mc'Veys just a little more and not sure if it's even worth it if there's no problem with Hubcap Mike's.. Thank for your help

    Well I went ahead and pulled the trigger. After messaging a few guys on here and getting their feedback (which was all good), I called over to Mike @ Hubcap Mike's and asked him if he had ever had any problems with peeling and flaking and he told me that in over 500 sets shipped only 1 problem with rusting and that was addressed immediately by sending out a new wheel cover. So I guess if you're on the fence like I was I would say go for it. They shipped out same day which is also good to know. I'll report back with pics once I receive them Thursday.

    I look forward to seeing them as I was unaware they were available in repops.

    I sold a guy two original 57 Caddy caps that had some problems with them- some low-life ****er stole them off his Merc. Parked right in his driveway no less. He called me and asked if I could help him out, I said sure, I"ll lend you a shotgun!

    I haven't bought Cad caps from Mike but have bought others.
    Always good service and product.
