no idea to be honest. they do fit 124 and 125 wheels but design wise i think they're for something older.

i thought that someone might have seen these before, if not, i have to look tru hundreds of pics of old fiats on the net

I've not seen them before Pedja which suggests to me that they pre-date the 124 - They look like a luxury item and could be from the "roaring twenties".  :)

Could it be Topolino, or 1300/1500? They are old, that's for sure.

definately not for 1300/1500, 124, 125, 132...
i'm thinking topolino or something like that

I think Topolino is too early. Fiat didn't use that logo in the 1930s and 40s. I think the circular "FIAT" logo with the cropped edge on the "A" dates it in the late 1950s and 1960s and the red colour of the logo means it was one of the sporting variants. So my guess would be 2100 Special, 1500/1600 Cabriolet, 2300S Coupe; the latter being the most likely.

Why nearly ?

Because the centre where the badge is looks raised on the car but his one doesn't, but that could be light ??

definately not 238

fiat 2300 coupe still closest match but not quite yet. colour of the centre doesn't match and the centre on 2300 seems to be slightly raised

also checked all google photos of 238, 1800 and 2300 sedan and familiare, no match

not 1300/1500. i grew up surrounded by these, they were made by Zastava in Yugoslavia up to 1978.

fiat 1500

Pedja, you're right...as ever  ;) :D

not always

however, i'm really intrigued by these hubcaps. they're not from any of common fiat models in serbia. how did they get here? even if they were for 2300 coupe, there's not a single one in serbia and as far as i know there never was

Maybe these hubcaps were just suplimental and not for a particular model.
