Here is a kit I found, a bolt on set of knock off hubs. I know nothing about them.

I would highly recommend to look as classified adds, etc. as my car came with wire wheels and the knock off hubs and I upgraded to modern three piece wheels and wanted 5 lugs where I could install locking wheel locks. I ended up selling my factory set of wire wheels and the hubs at a lot less than the links others provided to buy new.

New parts are better for this kind of modification in a MK-2 or S type. Used hubs will always be rusty if not damaged. The chrome and the surface in used spinners will always be deteriorated by hammering them off. dropping them, etc.

Not to mention the cost of 4 new spinners is not exactly a bargain. But hey, shop till you drop.

my opinion is that $1 grand for all those new parts is reasonable.

You never know as not a lot of younger people want the old style wire wheels and that grand is just for the hubs/spinners no wheels & tires. I sold my full set of 5 wire wheels with no rust and with usable tires, 4 spinners in great shape, and the hubs for $400 bucks
