I have a set of the late style ('75-'78) Chrysler Road Wheel Center Caps, but I need a set of the early ones.
As those are unobtainium, I settled for a set of repop AMC Volcano Center Caps. I paid $138 for a set:
The quality of the repops gave me a pleasant surprise: they are quite nice!
The base seems to be very similar to the Chrysler Center Cap:
Although the base is slightly thinner on the AMC cap:
Which is 13mm thick - the Chrysler cap base is about 16mm thick.
The tip of the repop AMC cap is fixed, not removable like the one in the Chrysler cap.
But the quality of the workmanship is really nice:
Initially I had thought of having that red "American Motors" band turned away by a competent lathing company.
Now I think like ...what the heck, isn't the NYer an 'American motor' as well?...
