They have a 9 1/2" outside diameter and are the same for the Frazer but are very hard to find in good condition.

If you can find a source that fits the Kaiser and Frazer we would all love to know about it.  There were replacements made 70 years ago but they are just as hard to find as the originals.  A fellow in Australia makes skins to cover DeSoto and Chrysler hub caps from the thirties and they are beautiful.  I sent him a Kaiser hub cap to see what he would charge to do them and the price with shipping was too high to be affordable.
