So 90's



This is a wheel trim from a 90's Citroën called the ZX.
Too bad it only comes in 14".

Check the little window to inflate the tire ;-)

ZX

perhaps someone with a 3-D printer can photo-reduce, or enlarge, to 'print' at different image scales.
They'd be 'clean' by today's standards.

3D printers look very interesting for wheel trim but they need to be fairly large to accomodate such large items ...

I somehow lost 3 out of 4 wheel covers for my winter wheels in my garage (tells you something about how organized my garage is). A set of simple coroplast covers are in my near future. Not nearly as stylish as those!

There are a few of this model remaining in my hometown, but I never paid attention to this detail.

They sure did, but it's almost impossible to find one in stock configuration. Finding one with mismatching hubcaps from local Volkswagens is easier...
