I had a 69 with the original Rostyle-mount wheels; the plastic hubcaps fit
just fine and the studs don't interfere. you will need the acorn type lug
nuts which come with the black plastic spacers (at least mine did); also,
there are either three or four little springs behind each hubcap to hold
them away from the wheel.
you are making an excellent cosmetic decision with the black hubs, IMHO. Not
sure about those whitewalls, though ...

Subject: 70-72 hubcaps on '69 TR6 wheels--lug nuts
Greetings List:
I've just had the original steel wheels of my '69 TR6 blasted, straightened
and painted. I'm having a set of Dunlop D65 Touring Elite, 205/70/15 tires
mounted; whitewalls, no less!!
I want to use the black hubcaps for the '70-'72 cars. Will I need to
purchase some acorn type lug nuts? Will this setup work on my wheels? They
have the 3 studs on the front of each wheel for mounting Rostyle hubcaps,
which I don't have. I don't plan to install trim rings.
Input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Walt Fogle
