The Hubcap Appreciation Thread

I think the dog dish type are absolutely pimp on anything with 4 wheels. The 1980's Caproce Classic "spokes" are a close second. Who's with me?

Nothing beats the CHarger in Bullitt which managed to loose 3 hubcaps in a single car chase and still ahve two on at the end of the scene.

My van doesn't have any hubcaps, but it sure has a lot of rust.

My ranger still has all the hub caps.



If only they spun...

It might not beat it, but I lost 2 hubcaps on my 37 mile commute a few months ago. The downer was that I didn't manage to gain one by the time I arrived.

This thread is a veiled attempt for you to invoke praise upon robotic toilet paper dispensers.

The spokes, I grew up with those things on every car we owned until about the age of 15.

On my '66 GTO I ran chrome reverse rims with Baby Moon hubcaps. Solid, smooth chrome, man!!!

But dogdish hubcaps were the first things you got rid of if you weren't a cop.
