HUBCAP # c14olds1983_2

This photo shows a 14 inch Oldsmobile hubcap made in about 1982 thru 1988.  This is hubcap # c14olds1983_2 .  The above gallery of photos show the details of this nice stainless steel / plastic design.  Design details include many ridges (100 slots) in the valley around the very outer perimeter.  And going toward the center there is a smooth flat surface forming the large center.  This very center displays an Oldsmobile rocket emblem attachment.

For this 1980’s Oldsmobile hubcap , the weight is about 3.5 pounds each.  The wheel attachment method is a carbon steel ring with a 5 clip design.  We do have have an inventory with some galvanized carbon steel ring making for the very best quality.

Inventory is now good, and quality is the very best.  [We will update pictures soon, regarding the galvanized back side clip ring.]
