Throwback hubcaps on c6
Might get roasted for this, but I really want to sell my Gumby's and put on a set of Turbine hubcaps from the 72 model year. Something like this.
Thoughts?

They will not fit, you need C-3 wheels for the hubcaps to attach to the wheel. And why do you want to do this?

Those hubcaps were seldom ordered on C3's because they were so ugly, and they are still ugly.

I just did this to my 2005. Biggest problem was stretching them to fit on the 20" rear wheels. Patience and a lot of heat is the key!
