The '57 and '58 Dodge Lancer spinner hubcaps are basically the same wheelcover. The '58s are painted black in the center while the '57s were left natural.

First choice is the 57 Plymouth. Second is one I'm partial to, just like everyone else, because it's on my car! The 60 Desoto cover is the only Mopar cover of the era that I'm aware of that completely covers the wheel.

what 14" FL wheel covers do ya'll like?

One thing for sure..... It's NOT the 61 Plymouth covers...! I'm in tune with keeping the look original so will be using them on my 61, but giving the choice I would choose the 57 Plymouth cones first and then any year Dodge "spinner" type cover.

fenix - 2013-05-30 12:03 PM I don't know about that Will, they kinda grow on ya, in fact i was cleaning and polishing (and damm near cut a finger off) the 61 Fury covers and was thinking, "did they have a special department that just design's the wheel covers for the new cars coming out?" Some are really works of art in themselves, By the way, I'm trying to figure out how to touch up the black half circles on the 61 Plymouth covers.

Absolutely, flat down, no question.

I too don't understand why so many favor the '57 Plymouth cover. It's the most plain cover there was for FL cars...........and our cars certainly are not plain.

 1957 cover is a classic design. Plain? Maybe, but very well done - also, it think it transfers well to any of the 14" forwardlook cars.

I agree, The 57 wheel covers are understated and very elegant. They will enhanse not only the FW cars but most any car with 14" wheels.
My dad bought a 1957 Plymouth custom suburban new...... I remember he had to replace the hubcaps at least three times in the time he owned it. And they wern't FALLING off.
I have a set that I will use on my 61 unless showing it.... Then back to the "flying saucer" wheel covers.

The 57 Plymouth cones are the best in my opinion as many have mentioned.
I hope I dont make any enemies, but I have never liked the dog dish hubcap.
