Source for hubcaps?


Osoi

Recommended Posts

I just picked up a spare set of wheels to have powder coated red for my truck.

 

Sadly, I took a hubcap off to make sure the bolt pattern was correct and didn't install it properly. It fell off on the freeway without my knowledge.

 

So, I decided that I'll buy a full new set for the wheels once their done. Anyone have a source domestically for these? I see the few vendors on eBay but would like to stay in the US. Thanks guys!

If asking members for hubcaps then yes use the classifieds, but if asking if some place makes or sells an original or re-pop cap then that is a valid question that all 521 owners would like to know.

 

It should go without saying that if someone was to make an off it should be done by private message.

New Old Stock or New Obsolete Stock. This is a part never sold, if sold it must have never been installed, never used. Good luck finding someone with 50 year old hubcaps or parts that were never used. Yet strangely it's very common on eBay so I call bullshit. Very hard to prove NOS. Still in package would help but anything can be printed these days. People take being in excellent shape as meaning NOS. People call poor quality re-pops from Taiwan NOS. People call everything NOS because they think they can charge more for it. It's the same with JDM. Everything is JDM 'yo. No longer has any meaning. Get the best quality for the lowest price. Forget NOS.

These hubcaps are not OEM or NOS, they are cheap re-pops, you can tell from the photo because OEM or NOS chrome reflects like a mirror, you could see details in the reflection, them are very shiny aftermarket hubcaps, I have a set of them on my 520ute because they were cheap(under $100.00), they are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but neither is my 520ute.

I believe I paid $88.00 for my set, Driven also bought a set, they look better than a rusty stock set of hubcaps especially for the price, but this is all I can really say good about them, they are better than nothing.

Except for the set on my 520ute, I use SS(stainless steel) 620 hubcaps(dog dish type) on everything else.

So, getting back to the point of this thread.

 

1. Has anyone bought those, and what are your thoughts?

 

2. Do anyone have a domestic source for these either NOS, or repops that they have been happy with purchasing?

 

3. I need one fucking hubcap. I am currently rocking two different types on my truck. I will post a photo of both. Help identifying?

 

 

I'm going to a datsun part meet up in Eagle Rock tomorrow. Any other SoCal guys going, I'd love to say hi.

Yes I bought a set for $88.00 and that is the only reason I bought them, I would never pay over $100.00 for a set of them, they are not that good of quality to pay anymore.

Here is one on my 520, notice how the reflection isn't that great, the quality is not there.

Here is the same truck with stainless steel 620 dogdish type hubcaps.
