Talking Hubcap . . .
I'm considering ditching the hubcap. Anybody with the smoothy wire wheels have any pics? Thanks!

I've seen a few photos without the bowl. As much as I love surplus chrome, I think it looks much snazzier without it.

True. I must say, it tends to make the wheel look a bit larger and more intense. Keep 'em comming please. I may be sold . . . LoL
