So why a NOS and not a repo ? You don't see a difference from the out side just numbers on the inside.

I think? and I'm not sure but I believe the repos don't have a little edge at the base of the cap that original pieces do. Its not a real noticeable difference but for the purest and judging some people prefer NOS. Maybe recent repos have this detail? IDK

SS1 Center caps

I have SS1 caps from Thorntons, they have the lip at the bottom. Their very nice IMO.
I know there are some that dont. I think the Thorntons were around $ 50.00 each.
