Just wondering if anyone has found some hub caps that fit the Alcoa wheels that just 'push' into the center hole rather than under the lug nut/washer? Mine are looking a little shabby and I really don't like the mounting method of the originals. Anyone?
Thanks, Hal

Something which goes over the outer dust cover on the brake drum and fits the hole in the road wheel?
One of mine has just chrome domes which fit under the lug nuts, the other (which you saw) is the same except "EAGLE ALLOYS" is stamped in each one. Again under the lug nuts. Never saw on the press fit the wheel hole, but you ought to could spin something on your lathe and then have it plated. An option might be to take one of the ones we see, cut the flat part off inside the lug holes, weld some clips on the inside to hold in the wheel hole, and then replate it to cover the weld marks.
Got an old J C Whitney catalog? Some of their 'baby moon' caps might be the correct size.
