No rain today and light till fourish !

Has anyone purchased or read reports of Stainless Hub Caps on sale at Sunshine Campers ?

I've been in touch and received a quick response with spec., 304 Stainless and .75/1,00 mm thick,
priced at £25, which seems pretty ok really .

Thought of Powder Coating which works out at £80 for the four caps, degrease, blast, powder coat,
at another £20 Stainless seems the best option .

All the best to everyone,
Chris

Somebody in here mentioned stainless hub caps before, think it was Bigherb, I was about to look at them myself so interested in the opinions, can you post a link to the ones you are looking at?

They would look good with ss beauty rings
Mm

top hit on google

got beauty rings

Looks pretty good, still have to wait tho..

By the way Itchy, what do you think of the spec.? Haven't micd mine up, but seem to be
with my knackered eyes more 1,5mm thickness .

Chris

dunno what standard hubcap thickness is but at 25 quid each worth a punt on one to try
304 stainless is not the best spec 316 is better but 304 is ok, I'd be more worried about dents if they are too thin.
don't even consider powder coating, will look rubbish

you are the guinea pig, maybe worth waiting a day or 3 for other reccomendations

Cheers Itch, been called some things never a guinea pig !

Think I'll await other replies first before I try one, now officially a pensioner
might even get a discount .

Someone must have bought a set .
Atb,
Chris

Or if you have no VW soul like me, you could get some old stainless hubcaps off a Rover P6. They cover the whole wheel so no beauty rings needed!
