Has anyone ever replaced the hole plugs on their white Marchesini wheels? I'm missing a couple and can't seen to find any with the exact same profile.
Thanks,

oooh man, I can't really be much help, as I have no clue whether those plugs still exist anywhere, but I can say they've definitely come up on this forum before. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything, but if you keep digging around you should be able to find some kind of info here, since I know it's buried around here somewhere.

If he can't find them... I know lowes/home depot have little white plastic hole plugs. I feel like you could put a dab of silicone on them and press them in and they may stick ok.

Alright. I went down to the garage tonight to find a tool that I just know I had moved from a not out in the open area to a more out in the open area not too long ago. Of course, I couldn't find the tool, but while searching guess what I found in a fairly out in the open area?

PLUGS2!

Hard to believe that they are nearly 30 years old now.

When do you think I will find the tool that I originally went looking for?

I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to send some out, but contact me at
dedsld1313 at gmail daht com
with your needs and we can figure things out.

Were the plugs made to keep rain water and things from getting inside the wheels, or were they just cosmetic?
