Try McVey. The hubcap from your link is not correct for 1957; it's maybe for 1953-55, I'm not sure. I have a NOS 1957 hubcap, see the attached picture. The center medaillon is plastic for 1957.

These center caps offered by Coker are as their ad states for their brand of of wheel (Specialty Wheel) . These are aftermarket wheels, also availible through others including OPGI. They are a different size center cap than used on the Sabres or the earlier '52-'54 wire wheel.   Joe Gibeault

Joe,
I have no interest in these wheels & caps. I'm glad you mentioned the fine print. My comment is it's REALLY Chicken Sxxt.  on Coker's part to make them different!!

I have a decent '58 Sabre wheel (can be used on a '57 car) and still have the NOS hubcap. If interested, I can provide pictures from the wheel and hubcap. To spare on shipping costs, I could put the whole package at the French post when I'm going to France in April or, if you are located near Nîmes, you could pick-up wheel and hubcap at our vacation house.
