    Hello, everyone:

    I am having a hell of a time finding the chrome ring trim piece that clicks in around my 1987 TR center knockoff wheel. It is the piece that covers the series of bolts. I have aftermarket Speedline chrome wheels, but that piece is the same. Unfortunately I lost one during a recent drive, and am temporarily using the one of the spare, which does not quite match. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    Sadly it's not sold as a spare part, best bet is to find someone who has a damaged wheel with a good chrome ring

    Thanks -- unfortunately, that is what Algar just told me. I cannot for the life of me understand why they would not contemplate that part ever needing replacement. Thanks again.

    I think the best may be to have one made by a good tinsmith and have it chromed. They are very very hard to find.

    Hello, everyone. Well, after speaking with Tom Shaugnessy who, contrary to popular belief is NOT an a**hole (smile), turns out he is THE MAN. He had the part I need, and was actually semi-nice about it....
