Is this wheel cover worth reproducing?

I haven't seen too much ppl getting mad for wheel covers, and more ppl toward to put wheels on cars. I like covers, but dunno if worths to reproduce them. Of course we are more sportier look than probably Sedans Owners maybe at Moparts. Ask on Moparts to check for opinions.

BTW did you check my reasons to sell JUST ONE SIDE ? ;D

There's so many other parts that need to be reproduced before wheel covers. 
There's probably more Mag 500's out on cars now than were probably ever produced during the entire muscle car era. 
The new dog dishes are probably a hot seller seeing as how steelies are now more popular than ever...   back when they were on so people could throw them out and put on slots or cragars.

I like hubcaps but I dont really see them as a needed or desired part at this point.

I don't think there would be that much demand for these.  I agree that more folks would like the dog dishes.

I've seen people get $200 for a nice set of those on several occasions. I think they are an upgrade for the Dart GTSs too. Of all of the wheel covers, they seem to get the most money.

I agree.  I would rather see much more harder to find or more prone to replacing parts repro'd such as tail light trim, stainless steel trim, etc.

How about a tail panel for a 65' Coronet 500...  It's got to be worth one hell of allot more than wheel covers..

How about the trunk emblem for the same?? HUGE bucks IF you can find one..

I'm like Brian. I can think of probably 30-50 things Charger owners would like to see reproduced before those wheel covers.

they are already with dogdishes in stock as far I can recall the website

:iagree:  I spent between 40-60 hours on each correct trim ring for my car to restore them.
