[Roadsters] beauty rings

[Keith Downing]

I bought my '68 2+ years ago and it had beauty rings on it.  Soon after, one
of 
my wheels had some "trauma" happen to it, and I needed to get a new beauty
ring.  I went to Hubcap Mike's, mostly because they were local and I could
pick 
it up.  The ring fit great, and I couldn't tell the difference between
it, and 
the ones I had already on the car.

In addition to just beauty, I
realized a benefit of using beauty rings is it 
reduces the inside of the
hubcap area by 1".  This essentially makes it a 13" 
wheel.  At the time, I
had the original hubcaps to a '64 Datsun Roadster with 
the full 13" covers. 
I love the look of the original full wheel covers.  The 
clips of the 13"
wheel covers fit perfectly behind the lip of the beauty rings, 
providing a
means of mounty the 13" (Drum Brakes)  wheel cover on a 14" (Disc 
Brake)
wheel.  I ended up trading the wheel covers as parts, but here are
some photos:
