1966 C10 Chrome hubcaps question

I had a quick question. I noticed that the new reproduction 1966 C10 Chrome dog dish hubcaps has a different bowtie than the original. What are you thoughts on this? I like the originals better….. Looked the reproductions, they do look nice, but I like the originals with a bit of patina…. thoughts?

I think you're going to find most reproduction parts are going to leave you thinking "why did I buy this POS" I try to find NOS when I can, then good used, then not so good used. Weatherstrip from Perfection is good, Anything from Mar-K is good. Trim Parts stuff is also good. Of course try to find mechanical parts made in the U.S. or Canada they generally can't be beat.

I totally understand. Do you know where I can find a good set of original 1966 C10 1/2 chrome caps?
