I know I saw a thread not too long ago where people were talking about (and posting a few pics) of beauty rings that snapped on under the hubcaps to make slotted wheels look like smoothies... But now I cant find it. I might have need of a set and would like to find out where they came from (was also listed in the tread)...

My search skills are failing me tonight and I just can't find the thread... Can anybody help?

Thanks

Thanks guys, that was what I was looking for.

Turns out I was able to track down a set of smoothie bus rims (well, t3 rims actually) so no need for the rings.

Now I just need some tips on doing a faux patina paint job on the wheels....

EDIT: Well, maybe I could use one ring, my spare is just an old crows foot that I happened to have lying around. It might be nice to make it match... I'll have to get hold of spinster for details
