New wheel trims, cheap and nasty?
Re: New wheel trims, cheap and nasty?
I had a set and someone actually bothered to steal them in the post
Obviously they're worth millions then.
Re: New wheel trims, cheap and nasty?
I think they fit nicely, to the era that is.
You see at least in here many 300 were cars that elderly drove, for some odd reason elderly people did got those horrible things for their wheels and those do look pretty much what on that era 300 would had, so I think that it does indeed fit in and probably would pass even classic car MOT evaluation too, so can't critize very much.
Can't really see the horrifid uglyness some are seeing, sure I prefer looks without them, but putting 17" rims with 35 profile rubber would be a lot lot worse looking

Hi speedy.
Imagine nickind a set of 340 hubcaps. I hope he got caught and had to tell the judge what he
was guilty of. That would have been funny.

Thanks Mark. If I fit genuine Volvo trims then my wheels really will be 'out of sight, out of mind' and I'll never get round to painting them. On second thoughts it may be a good idea - one less job to do..MCHUDD wrote:Hi Ian.
Just re red Toms post. Picture No6. If you want a set of those, i have some.
Cheers Mark.
I'll give it some thought and drop you a PM when I've decided - cheers!
In the meantime I'm going to see if I can get some stick-on chrome trim for the wheel arches...
