Wheel trim?

#1 Post by Adam Grosser »

As you can see from the enclosed photo, there are some visually distracting fasteners that are visible on the wheel hub. I vaguely remember seeing a thin aluminum "washer" on another car that was captured by the studs and covered the unsightly aspects on the wheel. I was planning to just laser cut some thin stock and clear anodize them, but was wondering if this was a purchasable product or if people typically just make them. Thanks!

Do you mean the wheel skins? Normally kit car guys use them to make the VW drums look Porsche. You can buy them here:
