Mark Hammond Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Many will fit but just don't look right, even those repro new ones aren't the right look. Get some originals off eBay, it's the only war forward.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 If you want to change the look of the original, why not go for trim rings or rimbellishers - you keep the existing hubcap and they clip under them covering the rest of the wheel disc not already covered by the hubcap. A nice period accessory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarthaC Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 i want to change the look completely, i am completely refurbing the car :) i just dont really want the old ones on there....M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 A lot of classics use the same hubcap dimensions even with different size wheels. Off the top of my head I can think of Standard 8/10/Atlas with 13" wheels sharing the same hubcaps as the MGA and MGZB with 15" wheels. These in turn will fit Heralds, but whether they appeal to your taste is another matter. Find something you like the look of, then find out if they'll fit. If they don't you will at least have a starting point in looking for similar styles to match the Herald wheel's footprint.A lot of generic 13" full disc covers sold through the accessory market, but judging by the number I see held on with cable ties (never a good look!) they may need some help in staying put,Cheers,Bill.

Jordon T Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Triumph Toledo and Dolomite 1300/1500 hubcaps fit and look ok. I think also they're made of stainless steel instead of chrome so don't rust!Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
