I saw a set last summer with center caps from SS wheels. The guy had cut off the top of the American centers so that the ss centers would seat all the way down at the bolt ears. Then epoxied it in place. Looked really nice. I did a double take, and the guy started laughing...he said everyone does a double take!

BUT....If they aren't perfectly cut....I would think some road WOBBLE would happen don't you?....seems kinda tough to cut,glue and center them.....just a thought? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Seems like he said the ID of the SS centers was almost exactly equal to the OD of the A/R centers at the base. Even if that's not so, I would think you could come up with something to shim it so it stayed centered.
Anyway, it looked centered while standing still in the parking lot. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Guys- what wheel would look best on '67 granada gold rs/ss, black top? Right now it has the big SS hubcaps, 14" wheels.
Thanks.

Clint,
Are those the original "mag-style" five spoke hubcaps? I've been looking for a set of those... -Sam
