Not to advertise for this guy or anything but.....the wheel set up on this car (on Ebay) is what I have on my 7 when I bought it. Are these large center caps original, like, did they come from the factory this way or was it a USA thing? I am in need of a couple maily because I like the look of them on my car (same color as this one on ebay)but cannot seem to find any. Can anyone give me some insight? Thanx, J- [:D]

(edit; they are much larger than the center caps used on TR8 style alloy wheels)

30th Anniversary TR7's had special wheel treatment, chrome rings (sometimes called beauty rings) and centre caps.

exactly as spyder says , those are the 30th ann centre caps.


Imho, (as I really like the simpleness of steel wheels and trim rings) probably the best looking factory-supplied TR7 wheel combo out there!!

Nice, I thought so...thanx guys.

Ok, now....I am in need of a couple of those 'larger' center caps. Im gonna swap out the cutom wheels on my car for those original steel wheels. Dont suppose anyone can help me locate a couple for my 7?? I think I am missing two or three (gotta go back and look to be sure).

Thanks again for the help. [:)]
