Re: [Chrysler300] Spinner Hubcaps and Rims '65-'66 300's - reply

[Kraus300@xxxxxxxxxxx]

All,

Maybe different for all '66 wheels?  My '66 300 was ordered with the basic 300 wheelcovers. I guy chased my down in the car one day and said he had a set of '66 spinners off their old family car. For free. I like free.  
The spinners fit the wheels with no problems.
