Simple question need simple answer.
Did the early years of C-3 Vette come with ugly hub caps. If they did, what year did the factory put the 3-piece rally wheels on them.

Ralley wheels were standard on all early c3s. PO2 wheel covers were optional.

P01 and P02 covers were available in 1968 (P01's) and 1969 through 1973 (P02's). IMO C3's with rally wheels look best with raised white letter tires, but the P01/02's look best with thin white/red/gold stripe tires.

No C3 came with ugly hub caps. Some C3s were ordered with the optional very beautiful PO1 or PO2 hub caps. Some later C3s had those ugly mag wheels though.

All of them. For 68-82, the standard wheel was the rally wheel.
P01/P02 wheel covers and aluminum wheels were optional.
Not ugly.
Also not ugly.
