Full wheel covers coming off going down the road

[ChazA]

Not sure if same for other cars, but on my Cadillacs, I use the offset wheel weights (CAX weights) so the the wheel covers fit.  If regular weights used, interferes with the wheel covers and won't install or fit incorrectly on small weights.  Another fix is the newer weights on inside of wheels to balance.

I think I had problems with the 57  Caddy full covers staying on my 53 Olds too and it also got the poverty caps.

slow down.!!!! .... enjoy the ride !. works for me... 53 pontiac, bias tires, tubes, original wheels and hubcaps..... only thing I did was reset the sawtooth edge on the tabs on the caps so they would bite into the powder coated wheels...

Love the look of the black walls and dog dishes on that big mid-sixties fomoco, Jeff! Very cool. It has the look of police detective's car of the era.

 

You should start dressing  like Joe Friday and say thing like, "Yes Ma'am" and "No Ma'am" and "I carry a badge!"

I had an 86 Dodge van with the dog dish hub caps and it threw two of them, one at a time.  It wore radials, and on one occasion, i remember hitting a big bump.

I have  been very lucky when it comes to loosing hub caps off the car/cars.

I  easily find them because the wheel is still attached to the cap.!👼
