    The hubcap in the pic above has had the centre cut out. The true hubcap for jeeps with hubs has a rolled lip. Those are had to find! Most you see for sale have had the centre "Jeep" cut out. Not a bad thing, some have been done nicely.

    I see what u mean from the pictures in the hub cap link. I still need one, hopefully someone will have one they are not going to use.

    I don't have an extra, but I ended up buying two pairs off of fleabay. The ones with "patina" sometimes go pretty reasonable. There are some on there now that seem a little pricey.

    Check out the Wagoneer/Cherokee pages and see if any of those guys have a set. Or anyone over at the Jeepster/Commando pages. They are more likely to be there than here. Most CJ's did not come with hubcaps. The Tuxedoes maybe.

    Sorry, no front cutout for the hubs on the set I bought. I did see a set a while back that had the factory cutout, they went for a lot of coin!

    Double check the measurement for the hubcap you are looking for. The Jeep dog-dish hubcaps came in two different diameters that are very close at a glance.
    The one that fits the Kaiser-era 15" wheels for our CJ5/6 original rims measures 10 1/2" od. These fit the 3-nub wheels.
    The other hubcaps are from the pickups and measure approx 10 3/4" od (actually about 1/32" smaller). These happen to fit the Ford 4 nub 15" wheels that we sometimes find on our CJ5/6.
    The orange/gold logo is Kaiser-era, and the red/blue logo is AMC-era.
