The centrecaps say Boyds but I can't find pics or information about them anywhere.

I am going to get them refurbed and use them as I am down one wheel after the accident.

Thanks

Those are old Boyd's billets from around 1990. They probably had a milled finish, possibly with a clear coat. They have also been seen as polished, but that defeats the point of buying billet.
They're rare now, and you're lucky to have them. If I had them, I wouldn't drive them, I'd make them museum pieces.

Spend some time polishing those wheels. They look very nice when cleaned up. A classic style and a high end (for the time) quality wheel. Your lucky to have those over there.

Missing the cap, but this is what they should look like....

Well i will be using most of the front end to fix my 91 Vert (see the thread in the convertibles section)

As i'm in the Middle East and a long way from the US the rest will get sold or scrapped depending on what I can do.

The dash is finished due to the intense sun we get here.
