Default hubcap clips

Does anyone reproduce the clips to hold the small hubcaps on. My car is a 56 with 15" rims,but i have some 14"wheels off an early 60's and they have the same appearing slot to hold the clips. The ones i have are rusty and about 6 of them broke when i tried to put them on my best rims. I thought i read that maybe an olds parts supplier was reproducing them. any help would be appreciated. thanks bud

A couple years ago someone suggested calling Todd Zimmerman at 920-526-3454.

Oldsmobiles of that period used the same clips and Fusicks, an Olds restoration house, repops them. Their number is 860-623-1583.

They look a little differant though than the ones that came with the wheels on my 55.

Yes the ones on ebay look just like the ones from fusicks. I probably could have saved a couple bucks with the fellow from ebay as the ones i bought were 4.50 each. My 56 rims and the one 62 rim had the same clips as the ones i ordered. I have some rusty parts cars and when i tried to squeeze the clips to get them out 9 out of 12 broke. bud
