Nasblu, go to kustomwheel.com I see they have an old Rocket sales book from 1968 on there website under the 60s tab. It has the same picture you just posted and maybe they would be willing to scan the center cap for you to get a better close up! It might be worth a try and it is a cool sight to check out.

If u find the correct center caps I might be interested in the Fenton caps if u decide to sell them! I just picked up 2 Fenton Wheels that need caps! Your wheel restoration turn out very nice.

I actually have the original set of Fenton Gyros wheels that those caps came on new in 1971 I just placed them on there to get an idea what they would look like.

Wheel restoration like that is an art in itself. Can't wait to see what they look like on the car, hope you'll post pics.

Well done!
