hemichrysler Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hello. I have seen 1920s Chrysler hubcaps in both brass and stainless steel, but which material were the ORIGINALS made from ?Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Wood wheel caps were made of aluminum. Wire wheel caps were normally a steel buck with a spun brass /chrome plated skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemichrysler Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thank you, keiser31. That's exactly what I needed to know. We are duplicating both the buck and the hubcap.Stark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Having seen at least three different styles of both the wood wheel and the wire wheel ones, which size(s) are you looking at duplicating? The smallest 5" inner diameter or the larger 6 5/8" or the third which is somewhere between? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
