1968 Dog Dish / Poverty Caps

I like the look of the wire hubs caps on my car now. However, If I can find a set of dog dish hub caps for my car for cheap enough, I'd like to see what if it would change the appearance a lot. If any one is willing to part with a decent, driver quality, set, let me know.

Thanks

If you find pics, send them my way (along with the price you are looking for). Again, definitely not looking for perfect. Just looking for a good driver set. Thanks

These are the ones I have. Very nice but not perfect. They were not in boxes and each has a ding or nick. Not sure if they show well in photos. Marked Grp#5.848 Part#412682 How about $45 each plus shipping. If you need more pics detailing every ding let me know. Most are at the edge a couple are centered.

Thanks for the pics. Those look great, but unfortunately that price is out of the budget I want to spend. I really appreciate the time you took to find and post picture of them though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but after looking more at the pictures aren't the ones in both pictures for 70+ Oldsmobiles. 68-69 have "Oldsmobile" more in the center of the hub caps right?

I don't have a part book but listed the group and part number written on the cap for reference. Looking back again, clearly it's a different cap.

I have a set but they are basically brand new. Bought them for a set of 14" steelies I powdercoated but then came into a set of 15" SS2's so put them steelies and caps away. There are pics of them on the car I just parted out in my part out thread. Just search my username.

Will sell for $200 plus shipping, which should be cheap since they are very light.

Thumbs up

Caps look great!
Are you going to put the GT stripe back on?
