Funnily enough, it wasn't that long ago that Classic And Sportscar magazine
counted the Rostyle hubcaps for the TR5 (UK 250) and 6 amongst their
favorites. They are very period as pointed out and meant to look like teh
Magnum 500s that were so popular in the late 60s.
I have a set on my
'69 for shows, happy to have spares - contact me off lists if you are looking
to sell.

What no-one has
mentioned on this issue that apart from looking awful and
totally
unconvincing, they always rattled like hell. I've still got ten covers
in good
condition for a 2.5PI if anyone wants to make me an offer I can't
refuse?
