Re: Quality of repro hubcaps from the 70's
I noticed the change in the revisions for 2011 elliminated the measurements of the hub cap diameter (4-1/8") and the inner dome 1-11/16". Does this mean tthe judges won't be able to determine repro caps based on the measuements? Will this mean a "benefit of the doubt" will go in the favor off the restorer? It looks like the 2011 profile illustrations have a smidgeon of a difference in width of the doned area but its only a drawing not a picture. Will they make it a requirement to remove the wheels so they can see the back side of the caps to count the tabes or look for the tradmark? OK.....I'm off my soapbox...............

Wick, I believe you mean Pete Buciak from Chicago on Superior street. Yes he made excellent hub caps and a great 30-31 cowl band. After Pete died his son ran the company and that was the end of that.

Re: Quality of repro hubcaps from the 70's
I had a set of chrome over brass caps that did have a ring around the outside. They were in original bags from Hong Kong. Before you laugh, the detail and script were very nice and they looked great. One fell off on a potholed road, now I only have three and since I can't match them they now live on the shelf.
