MC1of80 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) At the Carlisle mini meet a few of us brought up the p02 hubcaps. AKA the 72 custom hubcap. My 71 402 aka Barn Find also has these hubcaps from the factory. They were used on the late 60s corvettes also. The difference is the center of the hubcap. The Corvette has a raised chrome center with the emblem recessed into it while the ones used on the Monte Carlo are flat. Here are some pics of the 2 hubcaps and an NOS P02 center for the Monte Carlo. These hubcaps must be used with a 15x7 wheel or deeper. They will stick out 1" from the rim if you try to install them on a 15x6 rim. Edited June 29, 2023 by MC1of80 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420ponies Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I'll be changing these out at the car shows, rally to the caps, just to mix it up a bit. I know at 1 show I switched them out and someone came by that saw the car and mentioned. " that wasn't here before "... I just had to laugh. Mine are not perfect but I do like them. I have like 12 of them. Shipping was costly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
