Rank that is cool to know. I never knew the difference. So actually the "hub caps" originally started out to be more functional, than decorative, because they were about 9" and covered primarily the lugs. The wheel covers were made to be more decorative to cover the steel rims.

On my 72 rims there is the center cap (functional) and the beauty rings (decorative). So I have the best of both worlds. They just are sitting on a shelf now, cause I changed the rims.
