    Can anyone show a picture of what a gennie-style wheel/tire looks like using the hubcap adapter for 32-35 early hubcaps. I know what the wheel looks like and I know what the adapter looks like. I want to see them all together...finished product so to speak. Thanks

    Not genie wheels but the wheels I have on my Dodge pickup with 33-34 Ford hub caps and my own adapters.

    Looks good! I’m really liking the large area of painted wheel and the smaller hubcap. Thanks

    Is that whole center part a 2 piece cap, with the outer part painted wheel color to match wheel?
    Always wanted to do something like that, when the opportunity is at hand....had some chevy truck ralleys on a 52 chevy once and was headed in a direction of doing something like that but never happened and havent had another opportunity yet.

    low budget: I'm not sure I 100% understand your question on the 2-piece cap. Maybe I can clarify that I modified the stock (reproduction) 33-34 Ford cap to mate to the adapter I made that fits my wheel. The adapter and the hubcap are attached together as 1-piece hub cap that pops into my wheel. My wheels are from "Wheel Vintiques" that I bought in the 90's and mated with the hubcaps around 2000. These were only made for a couple of years.
