Husky Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I need some alloy wheel centre caps and have no idea how to search them on t'internet. They have small allen keyed bolts holding the current ones on which i assume i can remove and replace with different, less ugly ones? ill get a pic if it makes it easier? EDIT: ok heres piccy of what im rabbiting on about, or should that be barking? Quote
stanski Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Oh dunno mate - I think if you look on a few chavvy boy racer performance part shops - there are bound to be (search for vauxhall performance tuning or something on 't Googles) Failing that make your own - get some nice alloy/stainless sheet and a nibbler and orf ya goo Quote

Andy Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 What wheels are they on? Different manufacturers have different sized caps so finding something compatable may be tricky but not impossible. Also, check the allen bolts aren't just for decoration, the majority of caps are just push fit. Quote

Harman350z Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Eeeww ugly! I think just simply without centre caps would look better than those Only thing i could think of is take them off and get self adhesive ones?? ( or am i just being silly) Quote
