What is the thinking on centre caps - with or without?
I ran without for a number of years on my Sunbeam-Lotus because they were as rare as hens teeth back in the 1980's until the 'new' Minilite company put them back into production, and I bought a set.They didn't fit properly into my original 1970's made magnesium Minilites, and had to modified a bit to fit.
But, IMHO, they did look better with them fitted to without.

No I imported it from the US and produced this from a rock solid std car....Now sold but another one in the making
Must have been after you sold it then as it was sat in the classic dealer in Cannon Lane ind. est. for a while last year - ether that or there's a clone out there.Riley Blue said:

Nowhere near Minilites - wrong number of spokes for a start.J

Don't be bloody silly! I didn't say they were Minilites or even copies. However the resemblance in basic design couldn't be clearer. Maybe you should have gone to Specsavers.

"...as near Minilites as you can get..." you wrote but they're not. They have the wrong number of spokes, the centre is different and the spokes are a different profile - other than that, they're round so like a Minilite. Happy now?J

I think you'll find you're in the minority with that view.
The PH pedants at their best once again.
