Looking for the above in very good to NOS condition, thanks 0432 362 892

If your talking about the ''Thumb print'' w/trims,good luck!

I have a set suit restoring ill take some pics tommorow.


Pete

I'm pretty sure the thumprint ones are fb ek? They would work but would prefer ej eh ones. Pete could you post some pics please

Ej Prem,for sure,i've had quite a few and they all had them! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ok so the thumbprint ones are ej prem? Theres some one ebay at the moment with some of the thumbprints missing, to expensive for me in that condition, standard trims would do, I really thought thumbprints were fb ek, there you go!

ill get a pic in morning

Thumbprint trim rings are FB EK, I have the GMH press releases advertising them. Plenty ended up on later models as did a lot of accessories when owners sold their car and bought a new one

Ken

From memory there are 2 types of thumb print wheel trim rings.
Small thumb print FB-EK and large thumb print EJ Premier.

i cant find dress trims but if anyone can tell me what trims go with these from original and whether these caps were on fb and ek, I have seen the red ones on them, that would be good.

that Red ones FB EK as for fc ones i always assumed the stainless ones were FE and then they went to chromed steel as they were cheaper to produce on the FC ?

  Your right Pete they are not thumbprint, unusual type i personally have not seen them before. FE are stainless and FC are pressed tin chromed, all were finished in red and black centre's.  The red ones with the Holden lion in the middle are EK as FB look the same but don't have the embossed lion in the centre and no colour.
cheers

Next best to thumbprint trims,but cheaper are HR prem or special trims,they're chrome and IMO  8) 8) 8) 8) ,

FE - stainless hubcap, cam and lion, red centre
FC - chrome steel hubcap, cam and lion, red centre
FB - chrome steel hub cap, no lion, no colour
EK - chrome steel hubcap, lion in centre, red paint

FE FC trim ring - stainless steel, concave profile about 25 mm wide, 12 bronze clips pressed onto rim
Very late FC FB EK - stainless steel, thumbprint, retained behind hubcap

Aftermarket trim rings were plentiful and are mostly aluminium with lots of different patterns, they are retained behind the hubcap except for some full cover stainless variants which clipped to the rim.
Also available were fake wire wheel trims which clipped to the rim over original hubcaps. These are very nice but quite rare - accessory of the week has most of these pictured.

Ken

Thanks everyone I'll keep looking  :)

Thanks collecta and everyone, being for an fb ek will these fit the ej wheels with hr disk wheels on front and what sort of value are these for $400? Sounds expensive for trims needing repair but market dictates price I suppose

I could be corrected here, but I think they will fit EJ rims ok but not HR because of the difference in offset.
I think they are overpriced for the amount of damage on them. I've recently seen a really nice set of these at a swap for the same money.
Ken

Thanks ken. I appreciate the extra detail given, cos some of us were only kids in the ,80s when some were getting around in original kit.
