Default Re: Another cool pic!

It is commonly believed that the '70 Yenko Novas did not come with trim rings. This is not to say that some of the demo cars didn't get them, because they seemed to have more options than the non-demo cars.

These cars came from GM with the painted 14x7 'XT' coded wheels, and a 'dog cap' hubcap. Yenko changed 4, (not 5, the spare is still an 'XT'), of the wheels to a Magnum 500 Custom version, (not the Deluxe-they had the chrome spoke overlays). Yenko reinstalled the Uniroyal Tiger Paw white-wall tires onto the Magnum rims.

Yenko brochures do not say anything about the trim rings, and no original owners ever remember having them on their cars. This is probably because Yenko did not purchase the wheels from GM, he bought them right from Kelsey-Hayes/Motorwheel and did not want to incur the extra expense of the rings.

The 'Y' centercap also came from Motorwheel, and is actually just a decal that covers the original 'Magnum 500' plastic insert, they do not say 'SS' underneath.
