Opinions on Hubcaps for my 60 Impala

Ahhhh, fourteen inch.. That can narrow things down a wee bit, but Speedway lists two versions of the tri-bars in 14": http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Street-Rod-Hubcaps-Spinner-Baby-Moon-Ford-Merc.html

What were on that gold 59 ElCamino?? Sombreros?

It looked MAGIC!!!!!!

 

When a 60 Chevy was new, it was at the end of the wide whitewall era.
I think they used a wide white, but about 2 1/4" or so, not the old 4"
"gangsterwalls". Most any of those older style "flipper" or "spinner" covers should look fine. Dodge Lancer of 57-58 variety look like this......



Here's an aftermarket copy of the 59 Dodge Lancer cap...........



65-67 Chevy spinners are 14"



Use Google or look for caps on ebay......there are usually all kinds
available there.

 

Those are '61 Dodge. You might find them at Hubcaps.com.

You got that right. Back in my day (60-61) 14s, 57 or 59 pointers
and one coil cut from the front made you "King Turd" !!!!!!! LOL

 

Man I like the way the Polara's look. I will probaby go with those, if I can find a shiny set in 14". I need to get tires first though, so that is gonna be my x-mas gift. I cleaned the old girl yesterday and put the stock caps on, and I think it looks pretty nice.



I will try to paint the wheels before I get the new tires on, that way I will have other options as well.

OK Kelvin: I was thinking....if you considered 15" rims you would double the possibilities. Mitch

 

I like the "skinny" whites!

 

looks tons better with the factory wheel covers

 

Wire wheels and whitewalls.

 

It should be a law that all '60 chevys have a torque thrust type wheel. Supremes are WAY overdone and about to be played out like 100 spokes. I agree that the nova/corvair wire caps would look killer. You can snap the centers out and dnap them into a deep dish trim ring from 80's cutlass rally wheels, it gives them an awesome reversed look. I had a '60 2dr post that I ran those on and it was killer.

 

'63 Impala hubcaps would also look good on it. (The non-ss type)

 

I have a set of 14" appliances if you want em!

 

I had a black one with a 348 then added 62 era 409, (off message) I had red wheels with lancer hubcaps. Also ran the Plymoth "cones" for awhile. I won a lot of street races with the single carb 409. Looked like a 348...

 

Can't beat those 57 Plymouth hubcaps, They are cool.

 

I vote for the ones in post #20
