    Yeah it seemes i´ll have to build them myself,unfortunately I cant afford croming my wheels so i´ll just have to settle with the hubcaps with tribar and spinner.Any idea where the tribar and center spinner cap could be from more than aftermarket?

    I think they are custom made. I've seen that tri-bar on a different hubcap.

    Correct. It's that spinner piece bolted onto a smoothie wheel. You can buy those smoothie wheels with those caps for like $65 each, then you just have to find some banged up '61 Dodge spinner caps to grab the spinners off of.

    It might be the those old bolt on tri-spinners Moon sold in the early 2000s, Kripfink had some on his panel. They look similar to the Dodge spinners.

    Awesome thanks alot 49ratfink and LSGUN!
    Now I got something to build from,theyre gonna look bitchin on my -57 Buick.
     
  19. There is a small Ford I think cap with a similar shape to the wheel center - rounded, plain, but with a raised rim on the edge. Maybe those with trim rings on a plain steel wheel with those centers would work for you?

    Only issue I see is I'd be worried a snap-on cap with that on it might come off, one that's held on with clips would be more secure.

    Here is an original tri bar - they also came with a four bar spinner on the '61 Matador....
