My 72 Polara came with the red circle Dodge hubcaps. I saw Herb's Parts offering a set for $325. Does anyone have first hand experience with these reproductions? How accurate do they look and quality? Thanks!

I see them now, thanks for the heads up. They look nice but for this resto I will need the repros (likely) or NOS (ouch).

Did it come from the factory with aluminum or stainless steel caps? My '72 Coronet came with the aluminum ones (still on the car) and I think they only reproduce the stainless steel ones.

Does anyone know what cars came with stainless steel and which ones got aluminum?

I believe the change happened during the 1970 model year.

I bought a set of the red stripe repro caps. They are awesome! One of the nicest repros I have seen yet.

Does anyone repaint them? I have an awesome SS set, but the paint is a bit faded.

That's good to know John. I got a set too that I had polished, but needs paint. Maybe i will PM him too.

Thanks!
