Plashdaddy Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Hi Everyone, I’ve had a search myself so I’m turning to the Chevelle experts among you. Is there a kit / resin option around for these factory GM wheel covers? Any help is very much appreciated. While I’m here, I think I’ve pinned the colour down to ‘Grotto Blue / White’ but would love to hear an expert opinion. Looking to replicate this car from the family, SS396 Australian Delivered. Thank You. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Kinda hard Peter to make out in the pic exactly what the wheels look like. Better pic would be helpfull. I'm wondering too if an Australian car would have the same wheel covers as an American delivered one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plashdaddy Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Thanks Mike, sorry about the pic. I did find them once on a Chevelle site, I’ll try and find them again for a clearer image. This is the only other pic I have on my phone, but it’s not much better. In fact it makes it look like a darker blue too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Are these the ones? I have idea if they were ever offered in a kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Closest you'll probably find are either the wire wheel covers from the AMT '66 Olds 442 convertible, or the ones from the Polar Lights '64 GTO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plashdaddy Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 That certainly looks pretty close, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces wild Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I had a black '72 Caprice Classic that had the GM factory spoke hub caps... Those were beautiful.....🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) I think they maybe look like this, but without the spinners Chris may be correct, the Polar Lights GTO probably has the closest look to these.

Problem now tho is where can you get some. Good luck Buddy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks tbill, they’re real close, I think they’ll do the trick for me, and it looks like there’s a set of them in the recent fire chief release too.

Plashdaddy Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Thanks again everyone! I had a dig through my parts bucket and found this left over set from the AMT ‘Gear Hustler’ el Camino, think they’re pretty close! And the price is right to 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
