Dan - Have you tried these before?

I suggest them since you went with the non-OE polished Fuchs on your resto.

SoCalAndy has them on his Yellow 72 COM from Nov/Oct 09 with no sizing problems, but John/avidfan has had to clearance them on the outside. Otherwise they look pretty close to stock/OE but won't dent up like the lighter/thinner OE ones.

I got a set on evil-bay of OEM ones but pricey ($75 each NIB/NOS), but I think that AA carries either OE ones, NOS or maybe SS repros (ask George which).

seen them, and have considered them.
but if I can find some originals in decent shape I would consider them if the price is right. I can do a little metal work on them if they are a bit out of shape.

are you looking for the big round chrome pieces? that have like the the smaller circle that sticks out and the whole cap covers almost the whole wheel? john has 3 full sets i can see if he would be wiling to part with them and see how much
