I'll be darned! So my big, silver, louvred shiny stock covers on the
wheels of my "88GL are are just that, 14 inch "Wheel Covers"!! And just
about any 14 inch wheel cover will fit!!

Live and learn! I just think I will do for my plain steel wheels what I
do for my plain bald head. On Monday there is the Afro wig, on Tuesday
there is the dreadlocks hairpiece, on Wednesday there is the long
Rock-n-Roll hair, and Thursday is Punk...........!!! For the van .I think
I will start off with some kind of 5 spoke rendition, then move to a
starburst of some sort and next ............! -[;-)
