Hi 69,
The hubcaps look VERY good with those blackwall tires.
They give the car quite a unique look.
Well Done!
Regards,
Alan

Nice. But, my preference is for thin whitewalls or redlines with those covers (rally wheels go best with rwl tires)

Looks a lot like my '71 will be when it is completed... Blackwall tires and full wheel covers.

Nice looking car by the way!

Plus they add about 34lbs to the weight of the car. On my tanker sticker, they are listed as PO1's.

"68 model year cars would have P01's...P02 replaced them starting in the '69 model year.

You're correct about the weight...they are heavy wheel covers and a danger to shins.

WOW!!! I like the redlines on your 68. I am thinking about putting redlines on my 72. I know that 72's never came with redlines but with the Steel Cities Gray I think they would look great.

Love the look of the PO's and they look sharp on your car! Are they tough to clean?
