Default Holger is closed... Where can I find similar dash gauge trim rings??

I sent Holger an email to order a set of the alloy gauge trim rings that he sells & he replied to say that he has closed his business. Unfortunate.

Any idea if similar rings to these are available elsewhere? I'm not keen on the larger versions. Thanks in advance.

I had ordered mine from a German company called Cup-Sport a few years ago. But they no longer seem to be in business either. Sorry couldn't help.

The ones in the pic have a classier billet look to them and appear to be better finished too. Less is more in this case.

I just sold mine recently -- should have kept them after all to measure and machine.

I think these are the ones I have, and I can check. I would be glad to remove mine and send them to Chris, if there is interest.


Cheers,

yes, i prefer these over the rennline ones as well as it seems like the ring sit inside rather than out. i wonder how much are OEM ones?
