Lloyd's poverty caps/steelies got my vote for coolest.

Yeah those are cool looking, but must be very difficult to find. I think they were only 1972 maybe 1973? No repros either as far as I know

A more common alternative is the 69 GP ones, look very similar but have a nice deeper look. They are easy to find.

Those wire caps can look good but not with white letter or black walls!!

LLoydTX, I wonder did they make those poverty caps any other year/model other than 1972? Might be easier to find that way.

The wire caps look good as well, prob. just as hard to find though.

One more question, were the trim rings on RII's in 1972 satin finish like the 1969's or polished/shiny?

Surprisingly the wire caps are the easiest to find. Maybe because they were identical from 67-72. They weigh a ton though, well made and they don't rattle when you drive like the 80's versions.
