Anyone know if there is somewhere I can find a chrome sleeve of some kind to cover the innertube stem that pokes through the wheel? I have nice nickel plated caps in the tubes and would like to cover the ugly threaded metal stem. Any ideas of links would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

If it bothers you that bad I would go to the hardware store and find spacers or chromed tubing and cut to fit then put the caps back on.

Yea,I bet the crome supply line for a sink fauset would be just the right diameter.Just cut it to length with a tube cutter.
