Default 35 Tire Beauty Rings
Can someone verify the correct width of the 35 beauty rings? I have some that
measure 1 1/2" wide and others that are 1 11/16" wide. Also Would all five wheels have had them (including the spare) or four of them as the spare is
covered up when not being used?

Peter: I measured my beauty rings and I get 1-7/16. The rings have just just a gentle curve in them with no ridges. I would say the beauty rings would go on all wheels as sooner or later you're gonna use the spare and you want all wheels to match. On my 35peecup the spare is exposed so I have the rings on on the spare wheel as well. Hope this helps. Lawson

11/2"; the accessory section of the chassis parts catalog lists them as a set of five.

Trevor, your photo of the Lyon wheel cover; the 16" wheel is English model C, not a V8 wheel

As people grew tired of spoked wheels in the mid 30's more and more outside suppliers manufactured wheel covers to give the spoked wheel the illusion of steel wheels. HERE ARE A FEW OF THE SUPPLIERS:
