[Roadsters] hub cap clips

[Vince Strazzabosco]

Since my Roadster has finally made it's way into my newly acquired garage,
it'll be much easier to work on....

This talk of wheels reminds me that the
spare for my '66 still has the original tire on it. I'd like to keep it that
way, and acquire another wheel to put a proper spare on.  The wheels that are
on my car have a build date of '67 on them, but all the clips are still there.
Might there be a lone wheel looking for a home somewhere in the Chicago area?
Thanks,

vince
