OK, looks like this is hubcap fffrenzy fffriday, so I'll jump in: I hate my hub caps. All three of them. They came with the bus and they are a PITA--I can't check tire pressure or add air without removing them first, because the hubcaps hide the valve. I strongly suspect i have non-stock hubcaps. Do others have this valve-access problem? I'm seriously thinking of just removing all of them, or better, go with a set of steel '72(?)-'79 bus hubcaps.
