1963 SS 14" Hubcaps (4) Good used condition, they have a few dings around edges from being mounted. There is some slight pitting on the spinners, the plastic emblems are not cracked and in good shape, one plastic emblem looks yellowed. (see photo) Looking for $100 OBO

Rank that is cool to know. I never knew the difference. So actually the "hub caps" originally started out to be more functional, than decorative, because they were about 9" and covered primarily the lugs. The wheel covers were made to be more decorative to cover the steel rims.

On my 72 rims there is the center cap (functional) and the beauty rings (decorative). So I have the best of both worlds. They just are sitting on a shelf now, cause I changed the rims.

I know the feeling need the money that's why I'm selling. I hope I don't have to put them on ebay and pay all those dang fees
