Re: "Bullitt "stunt driver Bud Ekins
Back when men were men and they man-handled big-block American iron through city streets as fast as they could go. Too bad McQueen's Mustang had a one-legged differential. That scene would have been so much cooler if he had laid down 100 feet of twin black lines!
Now you know why manufacturers did away with metal wheel covers. They would fly off and kill people and lawsuits no doubt ensued. Ever hold a Chevy N96 mag wheel cover? Those suckers must weigh 10 pounds! Imagine one flying off a car at freeway speeds--it could take your head "clean off." (Name the SF-filmed movie that quote is from!)

Re: "Bullitt "stunt driver Bud Ekins
I had one of the original spinner wheel covers come off the left front of my 60 Vette years ago and nail an oncoming car in the grille. Glad that's all it did. Scary.
