If that is the case I suggest you corner the market! They are stainless steel - I'd be surprised if anyone "in the trade" would miss a trick like that. In my experience (even over here in Europe where Bundts are rare but hub caps are common) I have found it very difficult to find hub caps that aren't scratched and scored around the edges.

You can polish and rectify stainless steel, and make them all new in an afternoon, unless they have huge holes and/or bends in them.

Too bad someone knocked off all the paint, they would have been worth more if they had paint.

I agree for light scratches but if they've been heavily curbed then you're going to struggle to get them back to a decent condition. Even if you polished and polished you'd end up with a kind of wierd ripple effect if you had to remove some serious metal.

+1
And full wheel covers are NOT $1.70 at my local junkyards. And the hubcaps are usually crap.
