I just had some of these made for my wood wheels that were missing them and I thought I'd share with any other cabe folk that may want to finish dressing your old wood rim. It was also suggested you could affix this to a modern Velocity rim for a more authentic look.
Originally these used small tack sized nails and covered the rough drilled hole in the rim for the valve stem.
I've seen them painted to match rims, I've seen them nickel plated, brass, and of course rusty as shown by my original for reference.
You have as many options for finish as you need, these are soft steel so will be amenable & malleable.
Should be easy to bend into form for any profile rim.
These are laser cut with polished edges so no razor cuts.
$10 / pair shipped CONUS
Dress those wood hoops for goodness sake!
