I'm trying to find factory 14" wire hub caps before I go to the junkyard to get some wheels. Please help.

Thanks, I found them after I posted this, Im hoping I can get them cheaper. I would like to get a set because they're what came on my car. Im saving for a paintjob and I want it to look original. I'll keep the turbines for when I want to play. I might also widen the rear rims so I can put fatter tires on the back and still look stock.

I have several sets...how perfect do you want them to be? Some of mine have been in storage for decades, while the latest set came off my '84 a few years ago. All are likely in need of cleaning but are dent free, all spokes present and not bent, all center caps, locking bolts/keys, etc. Just let me know. I'm looking to get rid of a set of 4 so I can reclaim some storage space.

Think Kitz also has a mint set he's trying to find a home for too. I still have my set, but I'm keeping them

Gave them away to dragon on here for shipping. Tried for years to give them a new home.

As one of the few people who still rolls with the original wire spokes, I am just glad to see someone else interested in having a set.  Also, it is interesting to look at some of the styles on that website.  I have never seen some of them before.  Makes a guy wonder how some of them would look on my car.  I'm not going to go out and buy any, but I'm intrigued by #FRD808B.

There are a few of us wire spoke fans out here. 

Hey look...there's a NOS wheel cover and it has 3 matching friends. :hick:
