Where the devil could you get something like that from?

They look like those dodgy 80's BMW Alpina alloys.

why would you fit plastic wheel trims anyway when they all look "pooh" especially with zip tyes holding them on and alloy wheels are so cheap nowadays in standard van sizes

Alloys are so cheap?
£50 a wheel plus tyres is not what I'd call cheap. Trust me I've been looking for ages for a cheap set of 16" wheels.

When we got our Hi-Top leisuredrive it came with a nice set of trims that fit very neatly on the rims.





No cable ties required. They have had the usual hole drilled in the front offside one to allow for the speedo cable.

I do have a set of standard Carrat alloys (NOT for sale) but I reckon I might keep the current trims for now, the Carrats seem to suit a Tintop better I reckon. (btw, our TinTop is STILL away having it's body resto, 8 months now )

cyrus look out for a set of 16 inch cosworth rims you can pick them up for very little money my friend recently weighed a set in for scrap as he only wanted the engine out of the granada for his capri

I must be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I've bidden on a few alloys on fleabay but they always go way over £150 then there's £40 for a courier too

But my point was that for £25 you can buy a set of wheel trims and alloys will cost at least 4x that amount (ok wheel trims do look a tad naff compared to alloys)

True, I've just got a set of jk screens at a Bargin price that I wasn't expecting but couldn't turn them down at the price I paid
