[TR] Did 1969 tr6 come with cheesy hubcaps?

[Michael Lang]

I have a set of 5.5" wide wheels on my TR3 that I was told came off of a 
TR250. I always wondered what the purpose was for the extra long hub cap 
mounting studs. My TR3 hub caps snap right on but look a bit odd spaced 
away from the wheels. The gap makes them easy to remove - just wrap my 
fingers around the back edge and pull.
