Super User Fishing Rhino Posted March 9, 2020 Super User Posted March 9, 2020 Tracker quit making and selling them a couple or three years ago. They make wheels with the pattern shown in the image you posted. The hub caps were junk. Running over a pot hole would jar them loose. You can get a four pack of these on Amazon for 36 dollars. They have a variety of styles. Take a look. I've used them for the past three years and have yet to lose one. I've broken them on curbs and other obstacles and they have stayed on the wheel. I scrubbed them on the high curbs of the bridges that cross the Cape Cod Canal. They were totally scuffed and scraped, but they still held fast. These will give you a similar look to what you now have. Four of these are 30 dollars. Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted March 10, 2020 Super User Posted March 10, 2020 yea, and I put four of those identical hubcaps on my daughters Buick. They started cracking and coming off within a year. Bought another set to replace the two that came. That set did the same thing. Within a couple of years, the ones that are left on it, almost all the silver has gone. 100% pure cheap Chinese plastic junk. Quote

Having said that, I've had the ones in the first image on my trailer without a complaint. They look like they did when I put them on two or three years ago. The bridges that cross the Cape Cod Canal are narrow with 18" high stone curbs. I scrubbed one last year, grinding away part of the rim on the wheel. It also ground away a lot of the hub cap, but it remained firmly attached to wheel. There has been no deterioration of the finish on any of the caps I put on mine. 8 hours ago, Way2slow said: yea, and I put four of those identical hubcaps on my daughters Buick.

Super User J Francho Posted March 10, 2020 Super User Posted March 10, 2020 I'd toss the hub caps, clean up the steel, and shoot them with Rustoleum. 1 Quote
Tim Kelly Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 When I went to stay with a mate in Doylestown PA there was a place on the road to Reading called "Benny's hubcaps" I have no idea what it was a front for, but it intrigued me. I seriously doubt he has an online presence, so almost certainly no help at all. But Benny's hubcaps will be in my mind forever. A bit further down the road was an advert for Bubba Attorney. Not sure it was a particularly high rent area.... 1 1 Quote
