I'm not trying to knock Carter, buy I bought a set of his repop hubcaps several years ago when I restored my 1940 truck. They are correct, and look very nice, and they also fit. BUT, the metal is so thin that no matter how gentle you try to be when installing them, you will dent them. I ultimately tried tapping with the palm of my hand and still dented them. Of course when you dent them putting them on, there's no way to get to the back side to pop the dent back out. So, you end up driving around with expensive dented hubcaps. I imagine that all of the reproductions are the same, and I'm not really sorry I bought mine, but I was very disappointed in the extremely thin metal.
