    Mine are GM copies and you cannot use a traditional small hub cap. I am using a GM cap car plain center cap with trim rings. I have not looked in the Speedway catalogue recently, but got mine just before going to South Bend. I had been using MOPAR cop car wheels, but had clearance problems. Also since they were used wheels I had a difficult time balancing them. Thus I moved to what I have now.

ID:	1714095 Here is a picture Junior. The cap is a 1967 Impala poverty cap. The emblem is the pattern I made for my buddy at the sign shop. It will have a silver background with a black S as the original did. I have not been able to pick it up because my buddy has had health issues the last couple of weeks. Hope this helps, Lumpy.

        Thanks Joe and the others who've contributed to this. I'm asking so I can make my '64 GT Hawk with front disc brakes safer.

          problem
          I have Turner discs on the front of my Cruiser with no problems as far as the wheels go.
