Ok I'm having a hell of a time finding a replacement hubcap for these rims i need your guys help, I recently lost one while doing 70 down the interstate and have no idea where it fell off sooo ya pretty ****ty. My alignment guy cross threaded both front hubs so I'm kinda in a hard spot with these. I found a lot of look alike rims like the delux 69 rims, keystone sunspoke style rims just can't find the hubcaps that i have a set of 3 of now since the other ones probably still bouncing like tumbleweed. I thought this would be a lot easier to find by now or at least find a similar set. Anyways these rims are off my 56 f100 that i bought a few months back. I contacted the original owner he is a little loopy so i don't know how much i actually believe him. He stated that he bought these rims back in the 80's and never installed them on anything so they have been sitting for awhile anyways thats here nor there. Oh ya he also said they were wheel vintiquies or look for cragar i was like wtf which hahah ...anyone have suggestions or tips for similar style hubs that would be awesome otherwise I'm just gonna buy bullet dust caps and get rid of these extended ones with the lovely threads!! ALSO don't know if this will really help but the hubcaps have ming lee co ltd stamped on the inside of the hubcaps and the rims have no name unless its labeled under the tire which i don't feel like tempting to find out by dismounting the tire.... Thanks for any help i hope its something stupid so all you guys can call me a idiot bcs i would gladly agree!!!!!!
Do you have a pic of a different wheel that is complete, to get a feel for the overall look? Basically.....you're looking for a wire basket ... but I can't recall ever seeing one with a center like that.
If these were mine i'd toss the wire baskets and just put the spinners on the centers. Then buy 1 new spinner and add a few more lug nuts. I think loosing one was a message ! Movin/on
they were the rage in the 80s they were cheap and rusted fast. the set you have, have been reworked a bit I think jackman made them
With a name like "showstoppa" you really need us to ID 80's trash? BTW, an intro is a nice way of introducing yourself on the HAMB as well as a basic rule of the forum.
This is the only pic i have currently of them together. I really like the way they look ill probably have to just buy truespoke knockoffs or something different. Anyways......Oh i lost the spinner when the hubcap flew off so ill need a hole new setup for a rim. SOrry my name is James Im a newbie that doesnt know ****..My nickname is Showstopahh was giving to me by my club bcs my pieces of **** trucks i first started with always beat my buddies trucks....I just recently Picked up a F100 that is chopped 5" and channeled 7" with a chevy 454 big block and these rims came with it and they were chevy/ford universal..heres a pic of my truck I wish i could just junk the baskets and use the spinners but they snap onto the baskets so no way to mount. I was thinking of just getting the bullet caps from wheel vintiques.
