Pics 72 Lemans with hubcaps
 
Anyone have a 72 Lemans in stock form with hubcaps and/or whitewalls? Would like to see pics what it looks like, not many around like that. Thinking of going 14" Rally II's/whitewalls and switching back and forth once in a while betw. hubcaps and R II.

I wonder if the hub caps would fit on the rally wheels? then you could just remove the trim rings and put the hub caps on. No need for 2 sets of wheels. Just a thought.

Do you mean hubcaps or wheelcovers? There must be an HO out there with hubcaps, which went to an uglier design for '72.

My old 72 with hubcaps and 15x7 torque thrusts.

Hubcaps
 
No offense, but those hubcaps are hurtin'. The rally II with Wide ovals changed the whole demeanor of the car!

Here are a couple shots of my old '72 LeMans GTO with the factory style '72 poverty caps on 15x7 plain steelies.

Car was originally equipped the (also shown) "KR" 15x7 Rally IIs.

The factory wire caps look good, especially on a convertible. Gives it that "I'm not trying to look like a GTO look"

sglemans 11-17-2014 04:25 PM

Actually poverty caps or wheelcovers, but especially the 72 full wheelcovers with the concentric-circle design

I think sglemans is referring to the custom cap, a shallower version of the 69 GP cap. If so a heck of a lot nicer looking than the deluxe cap.

Yup that's the one I'm talking about, wow never saw one polished that well before lol :jaw:

The best thing is that I can take the wheelcover on/off the Rally II wheels and basically be able to switch back and forth between them

Does anyone have pics of a car with that hubcap? Mine is not a lux lemans, no fender skirts

Interesting looks like that wagon has 71-style hubcaps, must have been avail. in 72 as well
