Stickerdude on eBay will make any colour vinyl "H" you want just e-mail him. If you are getting the wheels refurbed get them to paint the caps at the same time.
Does he need a size to work to? I bought some red ones on eBay but they were really small. I would love some in red in the proper size.
Stickerdude knows what he's doing-

One day I'll paint the rusty bits black, when it stops raining, as for the shiny wheels, thats four coats of RimWax.

Brush on a bit of Kurust Easier and last's longer ! Do the disc edge as well

Gtechniq C1 would be better than rimwax

No it wouldn't.

Besides I can't imagine trying to get the RimWax off.

They will corrode back through from the inside - pointless. That's why its best to remove them

Fairy liquid usually works well on these old fashioned type of coatings.

Now a bit further on with the caps, first coat of paint, will be rubbed back and second coat added as soon as it warms up a bit more!

I've updated my first attempt from page one. I changed the H logo from silver to black which I much prefer.
