Title: f.c hubcaps..2 types? Post by: zl296 on May 24, 2012, 11:36:11 AM there is 2 types of hubcaps chrome and then stainless.

Fc was Chrome well so i was told. I assume they went steel/ chrome as stainless would nock the hell out of the dies and its probablly cheaper. A lot of guessing on my part im sure i will someone will correct me if im wrong ;D Pete Title: Re: f.c hubcaps..2 types? Post by: RET on May 24, 2012, 03:15:32 PM That's right, fchoon. FE are stainless, FC chrome steel. The later ones are much harder to dent, but the early type last pretty much forever.
Both have their pros and cons I suppose. I believe the chromed steel ones were cheaper to manufacture. cheers RET Title: Re: f.c hubcaps..2 types?
