(http://s28.postimg.org/884xfc0gp/wheeltrims.jpg) ($2) If I had the money I would have used the Buy It Now for $480 Hope they go to a good home. Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Are these the real thing? Post by: DJ on August 14, 2014, 08:51:18 PM Thanks Stewy. They look a whole lot better on the wonderful car in the photo.
Title: Re: Are these the real thing? Post by: Stewy on August 14, 2014, 09:16:33 PM I still think gary (Zulu) is looking for 1 more to complete his set of 3.
These look more like the ones on eBay. (http://s13.postimg.org/xoebk4k7n/wirewheeltrim_DSCF0529.jpg) ($2) Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Are these the real thing? Post by: zulu on August 14, 2014, 10:26:57 PM Yep Stewy, still need 1 more to complete the set, although I have located a couple of sets of the type in the picture below, which I have restored, they are slightly different to the ones on ebay (http://s8.postimg.org/gqjwbm7rl/WIRE_WHEEL_TRIMS.jpg) ($2) so if anyone has 1 or 2 like the one in the pic Stewy put up :) I'm a buyer The easiest way to spot the difference is the ebay ones have a hole for the valve stem, where as the other type has a half cut hole for the valve stem They both look good on the car though, nice car Stewy Cheers, Gary Title: Re: Are these the real thing?

I saw those on ebay too, current bid is $295 so they might go for less than the $480 originally asked. I hope they go to a good home too. Derrick Title: Re: Are these the real thing? Post by: Stewy on August 21, 2014, 05:59:47 PM They went for $400, $100 each would have been a good buy.
