Vintage Spoke Wheel Inserts Aluminum & Acetate – 0.475" OD x 0.125" ID – Set of 4

Product Overview

A rare set of four vintage spoke wheel inserts made from aluminum and clear acetate, measuring approximately 0.475" outside diameter x 0.125" inside diameter.

These inserts create a distinctive period look. Stacking the clear acetate layer over the alloy insert gives a more dimensional appearance than a single-piece insert alone. They look especially good installed behind knock-off wheel nuts on vintage slot car wheels.

These are genuine new old stock vintage parts. We believe they may have been manufactured by VIP of England, although the maker is not confirmed.

Because these are vintage parts made from both aluminum and acetate, minor age-related variation may be present. The layered design is a big part of the charm—sort of a tiny wheel insert tuxedo.
