Hi . Im searching for cool 14 Hub caps for my 60s Ventura.
Now i'm drivng Spidercaps...but this kind are so bad that i lost the Bullets .
What do you mean what kind of Hubcap would look great on my Car.
The Problem im, i'm from Germany and want to buy blind in the USA. I cant go into a Shop here in Getmany to look wich one looks Great
Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad English

 

Welcome to the Hamb. The car looks pretty good already. Tim

 

Thanks a lot Tim. I love the 60s Flattops... i like the look of my Spidercaps too...but my quality of SpiderCaps are so bad that i lost the Bullets while driving . Now i want cool old Hubcaps . I have 2 Different rims on my car . 2 with outer clamp and 2 with inner clamp. I think dog dish an trim ring looks good but i dont find dogdish for the inner Clamp.

 

Gute morgen Herr Sven!
Very nice car! Not many hubcaps will look as good as those wheels! Maybe trim rings on the wheels you have with a different color paint?

 

Guten Morgen
Yeahr Trim rings i think will look good. But i want something for the Center...because this Area is so Ugly. The Spidercaps fit this Area verry well. But its Crap when i lost the Bullets. I thik cool Hubcaps will fit my car Great..but wich ones?

I like this one. Especially with the color ring around the center. Very custom.

How about 1957 Plymouth caps, they are 14" and you'll be the only one with them....look them up on line, nice and clean and will go good with your ride.

 

1957 plymouth caps .... no i think they are to smooth and clean for me. I have also the original 60 Hubcaps and they dont look good on my Ride. In my opinion they are to Flat. Hope you know what i mean.

Bttt

 

You just need someone to recommend some caps like you have, that wont fly off.
What you have looks great, that wheel color is perfect for the car.

 

Sven, check out this website for hubcaps and wheelcovers to see which ones look good to you.

My friend has spider caps like yours, but his have a few screws near the center to hold the bullet/lug covers in place. I don't remember the brand of the top of my head.

 

Thin trim ring on what you have. No spider, chrome lug nuts. Paint the hub black and chrome dust caps on the hub.

 

Thanks a lot. Yes i have the 5 srews too....but the Bullet is only pressed into the Cover... and i lost only the Bullet the rest of this is in Place. It is cheap Crap i think.

I'd personally would go with smaller tires and fiesta caps.. or just spider caps.. either way nice ride bro..

 

If you have 14", at least that's what I hear from your intro, your limited. Fiesta's I think are 15" at least mine are. Chevy SS caps are nice, I like '64 especially. I believe they come in 14 & 15". picture off epay for example only. Also 62 SS caps are a favorite of mine. (Picture of a full set on epay)

 

Buy some Astro Supremes or Skylark wires, to go with the Bellflower pipes.

 

Thanks at All. The SS Caps look good. Astro Supremes i dont like for my Car and are not street legal here in Germany

 

Aftermarket wheels are not legal there?

 

57dude has a good idea here. Mainly because I really like the color of those wheels, good choice. That, or spring for some quality spiders. Either way, those wheels make that car pop, expose as much as possible.

 

Thanks a lot... yes i order some trim Rings..beauty Rings for my Wheels.
This ones

A friend of me will make me some Bullets with Aluminium in perfect Quality ..yes
So i only use the thin Trim Rings and custom selfmade Spiders. I like my Wheel Colour to much to Cover it.
@chevy57dude
Here in Germany we have hard Rules . You can buy some TÜV approved Aluminium Rims but there are not historic Correct. On historic Cars with historic Insurance you can only drive original or historic correct Parts. You can drive Aluminium Wheels without Historic Insurance but this Rims must be TÜV approved or something else. But with normal Insurance you cant drive old Cars because the Tax and Insurance is very High. Sorry for my Bad English. I hope you understand me ;-)
