    Those clear hubcaps would look great on wheels with these glow in the dark tires.

    The only set I've ever seen was about 10-12 years ago on a bronze '62 Star Chief that had a clear set on body colored stock wheels. My girlfriend's white '62 wouldn't have been able to pull it off, but they looked OK on the bronze car.

    Wow. I remember the dune clone being posted, but didn't remember who did it. I've been a fan of the Bug Zinger since my dad gave me a bible in the late 70's that had a decidedly new wave "far out" vibe to it. One of the pictures included was the Bug Zinger.

    Those are very interesting with the colored background and clear domes instead of tinted domes and chrome background. I wonder if they were made by the same people, or is this a knockoff version or something? The "Beauty Bubbles" seemed pretty rare, this kind I never knew existed.

    I had never seen these either, there are steel split rings that are supposed to be for holding them on? they won't go on a 14" wheel but seem to small for a 15, the wire rings can't possibly be what holds them on, there must be something missing from them
