Steer head hubcaps

Well, I was lucky enough to buy a maverick that had steerhead centered hubcaps. I was wondering how rare/hard to find they are... I like custom rims a lot and I found a pretty cool set that has a blank circle on it's center cap and I was thinking how good a steer head would look in there. But on the other hand if I do get these rims I don't want to chop up my hubcaps to get the caps out if they're hard to find. Plus I plan on owning more mavericks in my lifetime and I'd like them to have custom wheels with the center cap, too. Anyway, how rare are the hubcaps/center caps and does anyone repo them yet?

 

...i got and gave a set for a...gag gift... at our Christmas party...
...they were...worth a few laughs.

I would say they are not too hard to find.

 

Not hard finding one's that look like crap ... For some reason the center deteriorated quickly ... since the only good looking ones I have seen were NOS ones ....

 

They sound really cool to me. I would like to see them. Do you have a picture?

 

here's the best picture i have of one.... (front tire only)

 

Oh, yes. Now I recognize them.

 

I have one that my wife got me for christmas - FROM A CLOCK MAKER. He drilled the center and turned it into a clock.

 

I did a double take on that one.... That looks almost exactly like my car!

 

:16suspect I don't get it.....................

 

Yeah, mine look a little grungy in the center.

 

You wouldn't happen to have a pile of them sitting around the homestead would you, Sensei Craig?

 

It's a joke.

Of all the Maverick hubcaps, these are probably the least popular from what I gather. I have about 6 of them in total - but only a couple still have the center cap. Dan is right when he says they're hard to find with a good center cap. They became brittle quickly and fell out. As far as I know, no one is reproducing them. That's too bad, because I think the center looks good.

 

Same hub cap was used on 73 Cougars but with a different center.

 

I sensed there was some fun being poked. I think the cap looks sharp as hell, too. That whole steer head thing is awesome. I was thinking if I couldn't get a decent set to put in the rims I want I could have it etched or something right onto the metal....like just the steer head itself.
