Call Valley Wire Wheel Service in California. They are reportedly the only people who can do sabres properly. I've heard nothing but good things about their expertise and experience with Cadillac sabres. Ask for Mike.

Umm, I do believe what Broughams by BO pictured is a "Turbine" wheel cover.  The Sabre wheels are totally different, which are we talking about?
Here is a Sabre (minus the cap).

Bo is talking about the brougham turbine wheels.  I had Mike Rizenman (Valley Wire Wheels) restore a set last year - he's a one man band and gets very busy just before Pebble Beach Concours each year but I found his work to be excellent.  After reading about Morgan Murphy's road trip and his problem with rim failures, I got a little nervous and had Mike fit the covers to brand new rims.  The inner profile (ie, if you were to look under the car) is not exactly the same but I'll feel better driving with these - perhaps I'm getting too paranoid.  Regards, Ross.

No, Geoff. These are real aluminum wheels! The hubcap is larger than the one from the sabre, but the remaining is similar in construction as the sabre wheel: an aluminum part riveted to a steel rim. I have a '57 Brougham, I know how the wheels are done.
The wheelcovers for the '59 & 60 Eldos and Sixty Special are looking similar to the Brougham wheels and here you would be right, they are wheelcovers.

Guess that is what I had in mind, the '59/'60 Eldo covers.  Thank you, Roger.
