I would like a front (no center) like the one on the right, against the wall. The individual photo says CJ. Found my 3 on a junkyard waggy. What's the cost?
I never thought 15 years ago that I would be so excited about hubcaps.
Nice!
You wanna school me on these? Are they meant to go on Gladiators with 16" wheels?
Your comment about getting excited about hubcaps is funny - I've been thinking the same thing lately. I've got a really nice set of aluminum wheels that I had on my Gladiator, but I've got the stock steelies and dog-dish caps on there now. I was going to put them on my Jeepster, but I really like the hubcaps it has, even though I don't think they're factory correct (I believe they're from a couple years after the Jeepster was built). I originally bought these wheels with the intention of eventually running them on my Panel Delivery, but now I've got a nice set of dog-dishes, an NOS set of trim rings and a new set of whitewall snow tires.
HUBCAPS and WHITEWALLS?!? I used to be all about aftermarket wheels and raised white letters. Now it's hubcaps and whitewalls? Something must have happened when my hair started turning grey...

16" Cutlass Kaiser era "Turbine/dog dish style"
The Cutlass "Turbine / dog dish style" one peice hubcaps were mosty seen on CJ Tuxcedo Park.
I know that some of the Custom Cab Gladiators came with the more common 15" version of these.
Jim Allen's book " Collector's Library" shows Gladiator sporting these hubcaps. I can't tell if they are 15 or 16" from picture.
I've got a couple of Cutlass brochures with the "Turbine / dog dish style" that say 15 & 16" wheels, but they don't say what Jeep the 16" hubcaps are correct.
Regardless these 16" and the NOS 16x33" Gateway Buckshot's are going on the Gladiator.
Frank...same exact thing here, (grey hair also) I was all about finding period correct aluminum wheels for Gladiator, and had bought set of 8 lug 5 spoke slots with the hard to find 4 3/8" backspacing from Kaiserman.
(Those & the BFG all terrains are on J20)
When I saw a set of these in person & how well they are built....heavy stainless with anadized Kaiser colors....
Dennis,
Why didn't we take a picture when I had all those hub caps off the shelf and had them spread all over the floor? Hmmm? Here's a teaser...
I think that I have packed and unpacked and repacked these things several times at the PA Jeep show. Zack is the Hub Cap King of Toledo if not all of FSJville.

Just a quick question that I am betting you hub masters can answer....
What size screws are used to attach the center caps (six lug slots, 3 small screw holes) onto the aluminum rims? This is an '89 GW.
Great photo's by the way!
Jesus blessings!
