I had seen them back in the 70's, but mostly on Bugs/VWs, & then with that silver background area between the spokes blacked out so it doesn't look so much like a UFO.

hubcap + looks good = does not compute.
Those look exceedingly lame. Do not want!

My '73 had Fuchs looking hubcaps on it when I bought in '89. I haven't seen those in a long time.

Back in the 80's, you could order those from Sears. They had a huge collection to pick from.

well, I agree but it is certainly appropriate to the era of the car.

They were probably $10 less than the real imitations.

How much are they worth now and what did you pay for them.

Those aren't Riv hubcaps as far as I know. Prolly some aftermarket generic.
There were Riv and Fuchs hubcaps available from P-car dealers...here are two shots, see my website for more pics:

I HAD the same ones on mine when I got it. Wasn't sure if it was stock or not. When I took them off, I seen (us patents) on the back. So seeing now how rare they are, I may have to sell them on E-Bay! $1,000.00 Reserve. You can convert your 4 lug to 5 in minutes!

Looks like the wheel a Tank Tread would role on, or a 1/64th Chineese 914 Die Cast.
