Re: 66 chrome hubcaps stainless or plated brass?

I have to agree with you as the pic definitely shows the brass underneath. I had always thought they were SS and never put much more thought into it. I have 2 sets of the 61-63 deluxe caps and they all have touches of brass showing. I have 2 caps at home that have a light surface rust on them....Im not real familiar with chrome plated brass though, and it may just be the "brass patina" underneath that's causing the "rust like issues".

Is he going to be able to rechrome them for you?
