I took the trim rings off last year for the auto X & had a hard time getting them back on. Hard enough that I started to like the look without them better.

I have aluminum trim rings on the steel wheels on my car. I have never been pleased with the finish on them in comparison to all the other chrome on the car. They’re ok , but not quite right.

The reason I chose to go with the resin-coated decals is that I could order the size that I needed to cover the Empi emblem — though I don’t recall what size that was…

I just found these at SOCAL — do you think the MG medallions will cover the 3 holes?

Lou, great that you’re coming to Carlisle.  Are you bringing “wifey”?  

15″ Jack.  I know, that’s what you meant.  😛

This one appears to be aftermarket and not original — never seen another like it….

As a Merchant Mariner, he deserves calm seas and a steady wind in his sails. Here’s hoping he has that now. My best to you and your family.

That Moss Pickup TD was all custom, and has an impressive pedigree as it was built by George Beavis. The Beavis Special of the time used an Offenhauser engine to good effect. The original was a basically stock TD body, though by two years later he had streamlined it to unrecognizability.

I’ve not been able to find any pics of the original (here’s…

If I had to mount a pickup bed I think that the short and narrow Ford Model T pickup bed style would work with the lines of an MG TD.
