MG TD TF 1500 - Hubcaps, chromed, NOS Locators

I would like to know how the chrome holds up on the TD hubcaps as a general rule from NOS Locators and how well they stay on the rim.
Any info would be appreciated.

bought a set 7 years ago still look good take a shine, don't think they are either high quality chrome or stainless. Haven't had any issue with poor fit but i don't doo a lot of foul weather driving

I have a genuine set of hubcaps that are genuine NOS. they are in BMC labelled boxes and are stainless steel.

I bought another set in 1974 from a MG dealer, also stainless steel. Still on my TF but have always been a bit loose. I tightened a section of the outer rim and after putting them on the wheel I turn them until the tight section is over one locating pin. They then stay on.

Bought 5 hub caps NOS Locators (eBay) last year for my 1955 TF. They fit great and looked 100% better than the originals that were on the car. I'm very satisfied with them and the price was right.

I have bought items on ebay from NOS for 6 or 7 years, never a bad item. Always as advertised.
TM, thanks for the info on WHO they are. Nice to know.
