Hubcaps

Post by TulsaSpider »

New wheels are not in my budget for the forseeable future and my steel wheels are mega ugly dented and scarred, but hold air .. Are these type of hubcaps what I need? If these wheels use trim rings that would hide lots too! Thanks for any info!

those look slightly different than the oem Spider caps but they should work. Trim rings add a nice touch

Hey Clark, how you doin?
The hub caps you're looking at kinda got a "mag" look going on. They would look a lot better than plain wheels.

They are 74-on hubcaps to suit 13" rims, as fitted to Fiat 124 coupe and some Spiders of the era. Yours are in very good condition - most of those I've seen have the 'grey' area between the raised shiny sections polished off by overzealous POs.

Well they aren't mine I was just wondering if these would work! I didn't want to shell out $$$ and they wouldn't fit or something. I think they would look pretty good! Thanks alot!

**UPDATE**
I got the hubcaps off of Ebay last week.
I went today and got some trim rings locally. Since my car is black I painted the wheels black where they show. Here's some pics! I am quite happy with the results!

Plain Jane steel wheels boooooring!

With the silver painted wheel as it was when I got it.

With the wheel painted black.

it got too dark for more pics, I'll post some of the whole car/effect tomorrow

the black wheels provide some nice contrast with the caps and rings
