Here's a couple of pics showing the 60 with the chrome version of the Corvette style rallys on it. One is without anything for center caps except for chrome lugnuts, the second shows the same deal with that custom machined center I showed in one of my earlier posts on this thread. You will probably notice that the custom center looks "not positioned right" on the wheel, and you will be correct. I was in a hurry and did not want to take off the chrome lugnuts, so the center is not on all the way. The basic idea is there hopefully. The gray I used to tone down the center disc doesn't look real hot in the photo----could be the light, or just plain looks like @#$%. I if continue with these I think I will have to try some other colors or approaches. Maybe they need the Pontiac "Arrowhead" logo engraved on them. Before I got all carried away with these custom centers, I was toying with the idea of using the hubcap emblems from the mid-70s deluxe finned hubcaps, and adapting them to the "discs". I've attached a pic of those as well. The only reason I didn't pursue using the non-logo Chevy police cap is that I don't believe it has enough of a dome on it to accommodate the length of the spindles on a FS Poncho.
