  2. They are aftermarket models, made in the early 60s, also made 4 bar models, no car company OEM. Came in 14 and 15in. Popular when hubaps were the in thing before a lot of chrome and mag wheels were available in large quanties as in the later years. Had a couple of sets years ago, still some 14in that are simular.

    I think you both are right. I think they are repros of the Dodge cap. It can be hard to tell a gennie from the repops.
