Title: Re: wheel caps Post by: Blown_FC on February 24, 2006, 11:34:53 PM Steve...I'm no guru on the subject, but I believe that FE's were Stainless and FC's were chromed steel..or vica versa.
Either way, I'm sure what the FE and FC were the same design but different in their material. But I could be wrong.

The FC ones are chromed steel.

Polishing is your only option, but done well, will look as good as chrome ! |
