My 71 has the sport wheel covers -- and they could look better. Has anyone tried replacing the chrome ring? The center looks fine and I am certain that it can restored/repainted but the ring needs to be replaced.

The chrome outer ring is usually the worst part of these wheel covers. I have bought several sets and individual covers over the years to get one set with no curb rash or dents in the outer ring. The nice thing in that the outer ring in stainless. If you can find some with minimal scratches a good stainless repair person can sand and polish them out. I had the best 4 of the 10 - 12 outer rings refinished and they came out great. Now to refinish the centers.
