MD WTB - HIGHLANDER Wheel Covers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Steve Hafner · 08-10-2011, 05:21 PM

I'm looking for a "real nice" set of four HIGHLANDER wheel covers like the one pictured below for my restored truck.
No scratches or dents please.

Steve Hafner · 08-14-2011, 03:35 PM

I guess nobody has any of these for sale now.

**72 Super** · 08-14-2011, 04:52 PM

Steve,

Here are some listed on Ebay. These aren't mine, but thought you may be interested.

Thanks,
Ray

Thanks, Ray - They look like they have a few more dents then what I'm looking for. I'm probably going to have to buy two sets and make four out of eight !!!

**72 Super** · 08-15-2011, 08:09 PM

I will keep an eye for you.

Could you buy a set in fair/decent shape and have them restored? I've had stainless and aluminum trim molding restored to new condition in the past. Just a thought if you can't locate a set nice enough

I was thinking I might have to do just that !!! I'll have to search around my area and see if I can find somebody who can do it. I just didn't want to spend a lot of money before I decide if I even LIKE the way they look on my truck !!! Maybe I'll just get a set that has one or two "Bad" ones and if I like them, I'll only have to find one or two more.

**72 Super** · 08-16-2011, 06:04 PM

Steve,

I don't know anybody personally that would have them, they are pretty rare. Did you try Hubcap Heaven by chance?

Did you email the ebay guy? I only see two with dings, there may be four really nice ones there. I think that guy may have been a board member at one time.

There are three sets on eBay at the moment - I didn't email the one that has six in the set. I did email one of the other ones and that guy said that they were pretty good - just a couple of small dents on the edge ( I'll probably ad more then that when I put them on mine !!! ) I'll send an email to the one with six and see what he says. I just can't believe that nobody on here has any to get rid of. When I did a search on the site, there were quite a few in the "past".

I've emailed most of the "hubcap" places around and never get any replies.

I'll just keep watching for a nice set to come on eBay.

71 super · 09-04-2011, 06:37 PM

the lonerife had a set at one time dont know if he still has them or not. might be worth a try.

**thelonerife** · 09-04-2011, 06:51 PM

I sold mine on ebay. Nobody here wanted them at the time. They were a good set though. thats my pic in the first post. I'll keep an eye out for some.

Steve Hafner · 09-05-2011, 04:33 PM

I decided to buy this set of four from eBay - there might not be four "good" ones though.

Once they arrive, I'll see how good they are and I'll keep this post going if I need a couple more.

Thanks guys, for all your help !!!

My 72 monte carlo had these hubcaps on it, so there is another outlet for your searches.

That's where these came from - Monte Carlo on eBay - they are rarely listed as Highlander.

You'd have to be a "truck person" to know they came on trucks too !!!

I'm still looking for two more in nice shape

( small dents around the rim are OK - just not dented in the center )

THANKS !!!
