Rolls Royce AFTERMARKET wheelcovers and hubcaps
From the time I had my first Bentley which was about thirty years ago now, an ongoing situation with the wheel covers has plagued me. I was in Santa Barbara California about thirty years ago on a date. I drove my 1962 Bentley S1 Saloon from Los Angeles on a summer evening. I stopped at a convenience store along the journey to purchase some ice for my champagne I brought along. as I exited the store I saw a young man tugging at one of my wheel covers. as he got it off I shouted at him and began to run after him. My lack of speed to my choice to weight lift instead of run allowed in to quickly outrun me while holding my wheel cover. This resulted in quite a few consequences. The first was now I would be driving around without a cap looking ridiculous and the other would be trying to find a replacement.
After the weekend I was determined to get a cap immediately. I called around Los Angeles and found several ranging for $250 to $500 a piece , and was angered further. There was no point in buying a new cap because it simply would not match.
Rolls Royce and Bentley cars have had virtually the same steel wheels from the clouds to the shadows , to the spurs. That is about 35 years. The stock caps are stainless steel 15" with painted trim rings and come with slots on the later years. Stainless is great for corrosion in the British saltwater climate but if you bend or ding ,it is almost impossible to repair. Almost every single Rolls or Bentley on the road with wheel covers has bent, dinged or crooked caps. I always take notice of this especially when I am in the West palm beach , Florida areas where these cars are most common. The stock caps rattle constantly ,wobble and are difficult to secure. In time they frequently fall off causing you aggravation and expense.
I have a 1967 Roll Royce silver shadow coupe and a 1985 Roll Royce silver spirit. Both of these cars have the troublesome caps. I wanted some chrome wheels or wheel covers. The chrome wheels if you can find them cost $4000 a set and the chrome literally cracks off them in very little time. After exhausting myself on this issue I was able to find the solution.
A company out of California made some beautiful ABS heavily chromed caps and retooled the clips so they would fit these specialty cars. I quickly acquired a set for each car only to find thy looked fabulous on both cars. There were no rattles and I had modern beautiful CHROME wheel covers at a fraction of the cost of old, noisy, used originals. You can view and acquire them on www.flashco.us you are sure to love them as I do..

Datsun 240z. Is it worth it?
I'm thinking of purchasing a 1971 Datsun 240z for 10g. Main selling points are: Has a 2.4 liter engine, rebuilt engine, new paint, new windshield, new interior, new rear brakes &struts, high performance clutch, headers, turbo exhaust, electronic ignition, high performance cam, oversized pistons and radiator, external cooling fan, chrome dipped wheels, fully adjustable front end.
Is it worth it?
Oh yea, I also can't seem to find what kind of gas mileage the '71 240z gets. anyone know?
Making this car my daily driver.
If you just need a daily-driver, then you can find many reliable cars, with warranty, for 10 grand. But you sound more like a car lover/enthusiast who wants a daily driver that is also COOL. If you love this Z and if you have gotten it checked with a good mechanic, then make the purchase. But don't make the purchase unless you are 100% sure that you will be satisfied with the car. I HOPE THIS ANSWER HELPED, AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR DREAM MACHINE PURCHASE.
