Fiberglass "Bowling Ball" hubcaps on Ebay
Just wondering if anyone has ever bought these and if so, what are the quality. I tried emailing the seller, but haven't got a reply yet. I see these on Ebay all the time so I was just wondering how good they are. If anyone can tell me, let me know.

thanks for the info...they looked kind of shabby. I was just wondering how you would keep them secured on the wheel, it looks like there is only 3 tabs, but it the ones to align the holes up, not the tabs that actually snap the hubcap to the wheel. Without the other tabs I have no idea how you would keep them on, even if you tried the ziptie method. Thanks for the info guys.

The zip-tie method works perfectly. I have 7 sets of the 15" N89 wheels and caps at this present time, and I have never lost a cap with them tied on. Make sure you shop around though and dont get ripped off. Just be patient. I paid no more than $100 for each complete set of 15" wheels and caps that I currently have. I just bought a complete gold set off of an 82 Recaro, with the gold Pontiac arrow decal on the caps in mint condition for $75. Thats all they are worth. They are not as rare as you think. Just shop around.
I also have a mint set of 15" N24 turbo-finned wheels for sale if you know anyone thats interested.

I have some 15” caps that didn’t stay on very well. I though about the zip tie method but I wanted to be able to remove them easly, so I made some clamps that lock them to the wheel.
Made the clamps in 1997 and haven’t lost a wheel cap yet.
