hunting for a part that should not exist, searching daily for 3 months yielded a result.

When I got my Voggards they had 3/4 lip plates, it was really bugging me. I knew this part be near impossible to find. Poking around on Marketplace someone was selling a set of Voggards in Australia. He had 1/4 lip plates. It was my only chance. I asked him if he just sell me the lip plate, with him talking to people who are buying the wheels (if they want lip plate or not). Well I got it. The one part smaller than a pinky finger, & barely exists .

Heh, my old roommate bought some tri-spoke advans and accidentally crossthreaded the cap after an auto toss.  he spent a long time finding just the one cap

I had to use Google too. But now I do know what we are talking about.

It’s a niche term. It goes in a slot on the edge of the rim.

Are they just glued on? 3M sticky tape?

Yup, just plain double sided tape.

You mean to say that you don't know anyone with a 3d printer?

Yea, but it would not look the same. This is  metal, & 3d printed plastic would not quite match.

Some 3D printers can do metal...and quite a few CNC machines can manage it fine too. Granted it may cost you as much as a one off lucky buy in Oz but at least you wouldn't have to wait three months for it!
