Has anyone bought these from ESM, I want a set but interested to know if they are as sturdy as the original ones. Thanks.

Hi Les,
I fitted some from ESM to my 55 van about 8 years ago, they are excellent just as good as the originals but in stainless.
All the best Keith

The least major issue that happened at my cars first restoration was the loss of a hubcap due to it not having been put back on properly when the car was driven home.
The company involved sent a replacement which was stainless steel, it's been on the car now since about 2003. I couldn't tell you if it's the same as ESM sell, but there's no denying the longevity of it.
Now that I have some spare original hubcaps I'll revert it back at some point in the future

No sure if they were the ESM ones but I had a set and they were fit and forget. Not quite as bright as chrome but no worrying about pitting.

I’ve yet to buy them, 4 come to just under 100 pounds, free postage if over, vat takes it over but must be prior vat ! I’ll add an oil filter or something.
