Default "Poverty Caps"

Hi,
I've got a full set of Chevy heavy duty steel wheels. Car is 1994 9c1
but I believe the wheels were originally part of a truck rally
package. Anyway does any one know of a source for plain chrome hubcaps
like what they call "poverty caps" nowadays. I have seen ones that
have the bowtie but want plain, I might use the wheels on my
Fleetwood...

Thanks,
Harry

You might find some nice wheels at a used tires store/place, or auto
junk yards.Hubcaps? maybe there is a Hubcap Heaven store in your area,
there is one a few miles from me.I used to own a 1971 Chevrolet van
which had Chevrolet bowtie factory stamped on the hubcaps.
