I love "Tasmans" so she's getting a set of them as well ... only got a "spare" at the moment but they are on the way !!!

She's going to have more "shoes" than Imelda !!!

Swapped a Chromed Rocker Cover I had for this Alloy Cover from my FJ ... pretty grubby but will look real "purdy" after a good polish ...

G'day Dave,

Nice collection you have there,  thanks for the tip re the Rockets, I always thought they were a later model Tasman

Admin should make this a sticky as a guide to help people identify what they have/find

Is the blue Tasman cap for the Ford pattern version ?

Hey, how many wheels are you running on this FE anyway  Grin

More to come Gary ... as I said , she'll have more shoes than Imelda Marcos ... Let's just say , I'll never be able to justify paying for tyres for all my rims !!!

It didn't occur to me , but I did get one blue cap from a Ford wheel... the two red ones came from Holden mags and the last blue cap wasnt on a wheel ...so you are most likely right !
