Well, I think I misused this word, always thought "Rudge" were wire ones
with central hub nut, seems I've still a lot to learn on the list (which is
not surprising to me indeed). My car is nothing special since it has wire
wheels : question was just to know whether this is normal or not to have
painted wheels with gold (copper) hub nut or was it some kind of fancy from
previous owner ?
