Technical LYONS Wire Wheel Cover Picture Thread

I need a little inspiration for these old caps, does anyone have any cool photos of hot rods with these caps?

 

I'll start with my favorite photo of the Pagoda City Coupe owned by @IronTrap

 

Always liked the Lyon Wire Wheel Covers. I saw these on the RPM website. https://www.rpmnationals.com/merch/bfo964fuos97h8tjaqq5564wal3g9e

 

Reals, or repros?

 

Repros

 

These are original 17 inch Lyons on my pickup. I really want to chrome a set of 17s and run them with those. But it would be a waste for the amount that would show.

 

Do your 17”ers have a stainless band around the outer edge like the 16”ers do?

 

It's my understanding that they were all available as plain, with the stainless band, or full chrome.

 

I didn’t know that. I’ve only seen the plain with band, or the all chrome ones. Yours are the first all plain I’ve seen. You ever seen any real 18”ers?

 

I had a set of original 16s without the band. In original paint. Wish I'd never sold them. But got crazy money for them. So they had to go. Lol

I've never seen original 18s and these are the only 17s I've come across.

 

I’ve got a set of original 16” with the band. I searched many years for a set and finally found them a few years ago. I’d love to put them on my sedan someday, but would require buying a new set of tires which isn’t in the cards right now. I actually have one extra cap that I’ve had for sale in the cl***ifieds, but no takers yet.

 

This roadster is tough

 

Ive got an original set of 16” and 17”. I will post a photo this weekend

That picture is when it had 40 ford steelies and Ford deluxe hubcaps.

 

Here’s mine, currently installed on nothing.

A set of Justin's 18 inch Lyon caps all round on my tudor, keen to see what these look like when the car is finished.
