After market hubcap or OEM fitment?
So I have these Wheel Vintique Wheels and some moon hubcaps that snap in to the inner nubs. Just the opposite of what Im used to with stock hubcaps and outer four nub wheels.
Is there an OEM small cap that I could use in place of the baby moons? I like them fine, but I think I would like something with a bowtie. They don't have to be year correct. I had some Corvette style disk brake rally centers but they didn't really do it for me. No I wont be running beauty rings.

Re: After market hubcap or OEM fitment?
I think the corvette ones look the best. They're the only oem caps that clip on the inside nubs. I've seen after market "police " caps for inside nubs. Kinda moons with a bow tie.

Re: After market hubcap or OEM fitment?
I got rid of the Corvette centers, not the vibe I was looking for. I do like the cop caps though. Ill have to see where I can find a set of those.

What size are the redline tires you have? 8” wheels?

Re: After market hubcap or OEM fitment?
Also there are quite a few different aftermarket center caps that you can buy for those type wheels.

Re: After market hubcap or OEM fitment?
Back in the day I had a set of 65-67 Pontiac GTO rally 1 hubcaps on a set of 1970 15 x 8 Corvette five hole rally wheels. A very different look with exposed Lugnuts. Look them up on the net you might like them.

Re: After market hubcap or OEM fitment?
I don't remember the size off the top of my head, and the chassis isn't here at the house. Diamond Back made the tires for me, you can see the sidewalls have been shaved of markings and the red lines were added. Wheel size is 15x8 five lug.
I checked out the GTO Rally one caps. It is a nice look, but Im trying to stay with the "poverty" vibe.

Re: After market hubcap or OEM fitment?
Wheel Vintiques make a few repro Chevy style caps for that type of mounting. I think they do the '49 car style and maybe the '55 or '56? IDK, check their website
