    He will describe them accurately to you. He's a decent guy. But understand that "junk" is a subjective term, and will mean different things to different people. That being said, Hubcap Mike enjoys a good reputation.

    I have gone to his place a number of times, he is around the corner from me. He is a great guy, Ask him whatever questions and he will be more than happy to answer.

    P.S. his website says that some things are not stainless but they are, so be sure to ask him.

    I have a set of the baby moon caps from him, they dent super super easy. I ruined two just getting them on the car the first time....I popped the dents out and put them on the p***enger side;) other than that the chrome seems nice and after 2 years in the NW weather by Puget Sound they haven't rusted.

    I don't blame him, as I'm sure there is not a better option. The shipping was fast and the price was the lowest on the net. I would do business with him again....I'll just be more careful installing new babymoons from now on. :)

    I've got a set of Original baby moons in the original box that I am afraid to put on anything as they often get bent the first time you put them on something. As much as I like the looks, I hated them when I was working in tire shops and doing front end work and had to pop them off and on on a regular basis.

    I purchased the same thing as farmer12, I'm happy with the product.
     
  12. I've bought a few sets from him. Just got a set of 58' Lancer caps last week. Excellent quality and finish.

    Sounds like you got an accurate repop. The set I bought back in 1965 were just as soft . . .

    He is one of the few that I have seen that are offering the custom bullets in Stainless steel. Bought a set and mounted them to my American Racing Wheel plastic center caps, and they look great!
