  • 15" stainless steel trim rings

    Looking to buy a nice set of original 15" Studebaker stainless steel trim rings. I would also consider buying one at a time.
    Thanks, Larry

    Good luck finding those, I have never seen a set on anything after 1952, possibly because the Wheel Cover designs improved so much that most people went for them.

    For whatever reason, they are rare today in the proper Studebaker shape that fits the wheel contour.

    It is very hard to beat the '53 to '55 Wheel Covers for simple Style.

      I have one good one. I put some reproduction rings on and they look good, but I think the originals fit better. I bought some 1952 hubcaps from Studebaker International and I think they're giving me the look I want. As you said, "simple style". I'm using 1951 15 x5" wheels with the slots for clips to secure the hubcaps. I tried some earlier caps with the Studebaker script on them, but they didn't fit.

        VERY Nice '60 Lark Larry! What does that discrete little Blue & White Emblem on the front fender say?

          Got the engine bay cleaned up over the winter. The interior is next.
