Easier to compare the two wheels when the pics are the same size.
Thank you for taking the time to do that comparison Dave.

Had the wheels been 15" I'd have had them from Stuart for £100 and got then refurbished for another £180 so I had a long term spare set. The Royal Barge runs very well and looks smart on 15" wheels, so best stick with them.

Many thanks,

Alan

Stuart

As they are 14" they should be of interest to anyone wanting to preserve that size in this style or ilk.

For info, I can't find the thread at the moment. But. Someone posted links showing two types of the 14" wheel - with and without centre cap - and showing the 15" Omega.

Good luck with your sale.

Stephen

Royal Czar. If they were 15" they would be Omega and someone could supply a set of five if requested politely. But let us not hijack this thread.

Belated thanks Stephen.

Some might be interested that I've been trying to replicate the centre cap 'V' design using generic centre caps and automotive vinyl. Tedious and time consuming but worth it, I think.
