Anyone buy the reproduction dome style hubcaps for pre-65 Bugs? I checked them out at j-Bugs and Wolfsburg West (they are around $10 to $15 each), but I wondering about the quality. Are they close enough to the OEM ones so that they won't look like crap on my ride?

Thanks-

in my experiences, i have found them to be very presentable, and very much like the og hubcaps. i have had them on my car for quite a while and they have held up.

I would suggest that you buy them at shows where you can sort through a big pile and pick the best ones. Otherwise you're at the mercy of the dude picking your order from the warehouse. I paid 10 apiece and am happy with what I got but I had to dig through 25 caps to get 4 that I was happy with. Others experiences may vary.
