I got a good deal on some NOS dog dish hubcaps. Kind of cool seeing them in the original packaging.

Nice. I had to grind down the nubs on the wheel that hold the cap, because I could slap them on fine, but would have a heck of a time removing them without bending them.

Thanks for the tip, I'd like to keep these looking new as long as possible.

While I've got a thread going, here's a couple pictures of my wheel rattle can job...

after ( theres still some tape stuck between the rim and tire, that's why the edges look rough.):

Looks good. My blue one was set up the way it is when I bought it. Seems the guy had the wheels painted with the truck. Same caps as you and added plastic beauty rings to it all. It's many years now and the age shows, but when it was all new and fresh, it looked really good. It still looks real nice..... from across the street. :esmile
