They are so damn ugly !!!

Is there anything that can replace these ? Is a re-rivet out of the question... ?

Has anyone been able to disguise their uglyness ?

Would love to hear your thoughts on the matter...

cheers
Owen

Find a good engineering machine shop, they would have the press needed to re rivit them....

It can be done obviously. Heres a pic of JC's T/A with rerivetted(?) homemade hubs.
