    I can see that car looking great with anything BUT walmart hubcaps! thats a really nice car. the hubcaps that are on it now are nice for oldschool cruising or showing I like my original hubcaps that came with my comet. or like those old 1940's dog dish caps that say ford or mercury those are nice

    I agree. Both of my Mavs had beauty rings and dog dishes. Old school but looked awesome! :cool: I tried 3 different types of Maverick hubcaps before deciding on that setup.

    Heck, I still have about $200 worth of old Maverick hubcaps in my garage! :rofl2:
