Even better, is just about any 14" wheelcover will fit.
I have a set of 68 Chevy caps and like the way they look.
As for finding a set of 4 hubcaps.
There are swap meets and Flea Markets all over where you will find hybcaps.
Auto re-cyclers have mountains of them.
It really shouldn't be that hard.

I guess that my only issue there is that while they are offered on "eb_ _ _ motors auction" site nobody on there is selling a set of 4 .There are similar ads for a set of 3 and another ad with a set of two and yet another auction for a single hubcap as well.I have never bid on anything there. I am of a deeply cynical nature though, and the idea of buying 3 of them in one auction and then having to bid to get the last one seems like a ploy to me. Anyone on here had experience with this outfit?Tim Werner
