Title: Wheel Caps/ Wheel Trims
Post by: air-chief on June 27, 2005, 09:34:08 AM
Hi Guys

A little while ago we had a discussion on wheel trims

http://www.fefcholden.org.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=pwntd;action=display;num=1057934442

I would like to know what the below cap was made to suit?

Cheers a-c.

Looks like a PEUGEOUT to me.

G'day, I have picked up another one of these today CENTRE ONE IN PIC so that makes 2, and would be interested if anyone has another 2 of them in 13 inch for sale so I can complete the set. http://www.fefcholden.org.au/forum/attachments/wheelcovers-w.jpg
I'm fairly sure the LION ones are aftermarket as I have seen them in larger sizes.
I have seen the one in the left of pic on FB Holdens
and as Alex will tell you the one on the right is the rare Fiesta Nasco? style.

Cheers, Gary

The style of the wheel trim makes me think of F#@ds of the '60s.  Didn't the early Mustanges carry a wheel trim somethjing like that?  But that doesn't explain the motif in the middle. And it's not an attempt to copy the Holden motif - the triangle's up-side-down for one thing.

Phew.........
 Guys,  I've just been "surfin'" looking for a "Peugeot Emblem" for ages  :-X  this is the best I could get . I think the middle hubcap looks pretty similar.    What do you think  ..
