I think the hubcap nubs are going to be the hardest and most expensive part of making that hydraulic press die. But a provision for hubcap clips would be okay with me too so long as the wheels arrived ready to install the hubcap or with a kit with everything needed to install the clips into the wheel.

The next most important features for me would be the hubcentric design with the reinforced lip around the hub cutout and the original lugnut profile in the wheel (which I cannot recall at the moment but I think is 7/16 ball seat or bulge acorn 60 degree taper)..

My guess is there are a lot of potential buyers who just need one wheel for a spare..
