If you look at the Kanter catalog, it states that Packard made the hubcaps from brass so that you could get really sharp detailing, and that's why their replica hubcaps are made that way. The other comment is this is what made them easy to dent. Which is why Hirsch replica hubcaps are steel with chrome plate. Anyway, it is easy to get nice replicas; take your pick.
