Not wanting to steal your thread, but as you're only after one Gazrat, I'm after a set of four.

If there are any more out there, I would like to hear from you ............. after Gazrat of course.   ;)

Be aware that there are 2 types - small thumb print FB/EK and large thumb print EJ

And also be aware that i have purchased 3 sets over the years and since sold one set to a forum member and they are pricey! But they are worth it as i think they look the goods on a stock car Good luck with your search as they are a little like hens teeth!
Cheers

Ken, I thought the thumb print Wheel trims were for the FE or FC.  If not, what should the FC have as wheel trims?

Or this one, #40 from Alex's great reference list.

I think these are harder to find than the thumbprint type & like the thumbprint type, there are other types that look similar.

Absolutely Gary - these are the genuine FE and FC wheel trim rings.  The thumbprint trim ring was released in December 1959 which means that barely any FC's would have been fitted with these from the dealership.
They are a little more common to find than the early ones because they clip on behind the hub cap whilst the early ones were a push on stle ring.
