TR2/3/3A Baby moons on myTR3

Hey guys,
I made some custom Baby moon hub caps for my TR3. Been working on this restoration for 2 and a half years now and finially rolled it out of the garage for a little daylight. Since I noticed a couple recent posts about tire sizes... I figured I'd share mine. I put TR6 wheels on it and painted them black. The tires are 195/65/15 - I love the way they fit. Check it out.

Still have to get a few body parts on and do the upholstery (which is turning out to be a real challenge for me)
Cheers!

I bought the hubcaps on Amazon. Used a cutting disk on my grinder to cut off excess material then drilled holes in the wheels and tapped some threads in them. To go the extra mile I welded a nut on the inside of the wheel to give the Allen head screw more threads to "bite" on. The Allen head screws are black and the head is small so it's barely noticeable. This is an older pic before I painted the little metal tabs I made black.
